PAXTANG TOWNSHIP.
AMONG the records of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Lancaster County are the following entries :
" Boundaries of the town-hips in Lancaster County,, as they were settled and agreed upon by the magi -- trates and inhabitants of the said county the 9th day of June, and confirmed by the Court of Quarter Ses- sions the first Tuesday in Angust ensuing, Anno Domini, 1/29."
Then follow the names and boundaries of a number of townships, covering the territory of the county from the Octorara to the Kittochtinny Mountain, among these being the names of Peshtank (Paxtang) and Derry, which comprised the whole of Dauphin County south of the first range of the Kittoch- tinny Mountains and a part of now Lebanon County, that of Paxtang being described as follows :
"The township of Peshtank, beginning at the mouth of Snataaro, thence up the river to Kehtoh- toning hill above Peter Allens, thence eastward by the south side of said hill to the meridian of Queto- pohello mouth, thence on a south course to the
mouth of the same at Suataaro, and down Suataaro to the beginning."
In 1736-37 the first division of the township oe- curred, the erection of Hanover township from the northeastern portion. and thus the division contin- ued until only a small portion of the original town- ship is thus designated, and that is the township of Lower Paxtang. Peshtank, or Paxtaug, as we prefer to spell it, and which orthography we have uniformly adhered to, notwithstanding the errors of the past eighty years, which have given us the English Pax- ton for the Indian word Paxtung. It was so named for the inconsiderable stream which was then within its borders.
The warrantees given in the chapter on the early settlements give n> the names of the pioneers of this section, and much of the history of the township proper is interwoven with that of the county. We shall, therefore, content ourselves with merely giving A lew facts not previously recorded, and which come in in our narrative more appropriately here.

As the assessment-lists for the entire county of Lancaster are the fullest for 1780, we give that re- turn for Paxtang. As yet Harrisburg is not distinct or separate as that of Middletown. It was not then as important a place. By it we find the following items of general information :
Mills were owned by George Deirbach, John Fritz, John Garber, Philip Griner, John Gilchrist, John Jamison (2), Jacob G. Miller, Widow Nobb.
Stills were in the possession of Andrew Berryhill, Henry Boal, Joseph Flora, Joseph Flora, Jr., John Garber (2), Matthias Hoover (3), John Jamison. James Mahan, Robert Neal, John Noop 12), Jere- miah Sturgeon, John Wonderly (2).
Ferries were owned by Maxwell, Robert, and Row- land Chambers, and by William Gibbons. John Harris, it would seem, was not taxed for his; having purchased outright the privilege, was not subject to taxation. It was called a " Publie Ferry."
