Historical and Genealogical.


Middlesex, near Carlisle, in Pennsylva- nia, who was an extensive Indian trader, and who commanded with much credit a Pennsylvania company at Braddock's de- feat. One of his sons, Callender Irvine, born at Carlisle, 1774, was president of the Hibernia Society of Philadelphia, and of the State Society of the Cincinnati Elizabeth Irvine married Dr. Reynolds, a United Irishman of '98, who came to this country and practiced medicine success- fully in Philadelphia. But there was more of American glory in this family. Two of General Irvine's brothers served their adopted country whom I must no. tice briefly.


Andrew Irvine was a brave soldier-a captain in the Revolution. He was a brother of the forcgoing and of Mattliew Irvine. Matthew was the younger brother of General William Irvine, and was born in Ireland, and came out to this country when a boy. On the way over he had a misunderstanding with the son of the captain, who was older and stronger. They had a fight, in which it is said Matthew did not come off second best. The young pugilists met in after life when both had become well known citizens and made friends. Mattbew studied medicine at Carlisle and Phila delphia under bis brother and Dr. Rush. From his brother he willingly imbibed enthusiasm in the cause of the colonies against England, and left his studies to join General Washington at Boston.

"A FREE MASON SERMON, preached at Harrisburg, by the Rev. Nathaniel R. Snowden, before the two Lodges, Har- risburgh and Carlisle," was published in March, 1798, by George Kline, Gazette office, Carlisle. Is a copy of this dis- course in existence ?


THE PITTSBURGH GAZETTE celebrated its centennial on the 29th of July, by publishing the most interesting and valu-


able paper ever issued from the press. The original articles are of a high literary order, and deserve a more prominent setting than thus given. A fac simile-four pages-is given of the issue of the Gazette- for Sept. 16, 1786, being number eight of volume one. The hi-tory of the Gazette, its editors and contemporaries, by Wm. Anderson, is of great interest, and equally so arc the articles "Historic Pittsburgh," by Rev. A. A. Lambing; "Bench and Bar," by J. B. Robinson; "Military Lore," by J. E. Shofiel; "Medical Pro fession," hy E A. Wood; "Black Robes " by E. R. Donehoo; "Public Schools," by George J. Luckey; "The Days of 1786," manners and customs, by Jacob Reese; "The Rise of a Nation," by Henry T. Ford; "The Olden Town," by H. . H. Brackenridge; and a dozen or more of articles just as carefully prepared and just as valuable. It is a number the editors of the Gazette may well feel proud of. One hundred thousand copies were published and the demand continues No onc issue of any newspaper, better de- serves preservation than this.


PENNSYLVANIA ANTE-REVOLUTION- ARY CURRENCY.


Before the Revolution, as was natural with British colonies, the money accounts of the business of the people were con- ducted in pounds, shillings and pence. The colonies could not coin money, and whenever they were in financial straits. they were compelled to issue paper money of various kinds. A pound ster- ling of Pennsylvania currency ought to. have represented a pound sterling of Eng- lish currency. But at a very early period there seems to have been invented an ideal Pennsylvania currency. which was different from the British standard of coinage. Thus in 1672, before Penn came, a Boston shilling was ordered to pass for a shilling; and a piece of eight, a Spanish or Mexican dollar-the modern dollar-at six shillings, for debt and pur- chases. In 1682 the Assembly enacted a law ordering that every old English shilling should pass for fifteen pence, and every piece of English money in a like proportion. This act established a differ. ence between Pennsylvania and English money, so that a pound sterling of British


447


Historical and Genealogical.


money was worth more than a pound sterling of Pennsylvania money. A British guinea was made to pass at twen- ty-seven shillings, and other coins at a like advance. In 1693 King William and Mary abrogated the law uxing the value of the English shilling at


fıf- teen pence Pennsylvania money. In the same year the Assembly passed another law to adopt the Mexican, Peruvian, Spanish, and French rate of money in the province. In 1698 another act was passed upon the same subject of foreign money. There was an act passed in 1700 to settle a rate of money or coin, which was repealed in 1703. Another act was passed in 1709 (which was re- pealed), to ascertain the rates of money. There were frequent controversies be- tween the Assembly and the Crown in regard to passing laws. The Assembly would pass a law, and it would be re- pealed in England-sometimes several years after it had been put in operation. And then the Assembly would pass the same law, or something very near like it, and it would go immediately into opera - tion, but would be repealed months or years afterward, the statute having in the meanwhile been enforced in Pennsylva- nia. In addition, there was a sort of tacit agreement among the people to carry out many laws, which had been repealed in England, by consent, as if they were still in effect; and this could be easily done in reference to currency or money. For this reason it is difficult, and accord- ing to our idea almost impossible, to as- eertain the difference between a pound sterling of English money and a pound sterling of Pennsylvania money in 1706. If it went at the rate of twelve pence Pennsylvania money to fifteen pence British money, the latter was worth, in the pound sterling, sixty pence more than the former.

THE STORY OF "LUKE HOLLAND."


[The following aneedote is given by the Rev. Mr. Heekewelder in his "Histori- cal account of the Indians," to exemplify their sagacity as well as veracity. We must confess that we are inelined to the opinion that that God fearing missionary was imposed upon by "Holland" and that the entire story is a myth. It is true that not all Indians were bad Indians, but the good were very, very few. ]


In the beginning of the summer of the. year 1755, a most atrocious and shocking murder was unexpectedly committed by a party of Indians, on fourteen white settlers within five or six miles of Sha . mokin. The surviving whites, in their rage, determined to take their revenge by murdering a Delaware Indian who hap- pened to be in those parts, and was far from thinking himself in danger. He was a great friend to the whites, was. loved and esteemed by them, and in tes- timony of their regard, had received from them the name of Luke Holland, by which he was generally known. This Indian, satisfied that his nation was in- capable of eommitting such a foul murder in a time of profund peace, told the en- raged settlers that he was sure that the Delawares were not in any manner con- cerned in it, and that it was the aet of some wicked Mingoes or Iroquois, whose custom it was to involve other nations in wars with each other by clandestinely committing murders, so that they might be laid to the chargeof others than them- selves. But all his representations were vain; he could not convince exasperated men whose minds were fully bent upon revenge. At last, he offered that if they would give him a party to aecompany him, he would go with them in quest of


449


Historical and Genealogical.


the murderers, and was sure he could discover them by the prints of their feet and other marks well known to him, by which he would convince them that the real perpetrators of the crime be- longed to the Six Nations. His proposal was accepted, he marched at the head of a party of whites and led them into the tracks. They soon found themselves in the most rocky parts of the mountain, where not one of those who accompanied him was able to discover a single track, nor would they believe that ever a man had trodden on this ground, as they had to jump over a number of crevices between the rocks, and in some instances to crawl over them. Now they began to believe that the Indian had led them across those rugged mountains in order to give the enemy time to escape, and threatened him with instant death the moment they should be fully con. vinced of the fraud. The Indian true to his promise would take pains to make them perceive that an enemy has passed along the places through which he was leading them; here he would show them that the moss on the rock had been trod . den down by the weight of a human foot, then it had been torn and dragged for- ward from its place; further he would point out to them that pebbles or small stones on the rocks had been removed from their beds by the foot hitting against them, that dry sticks by being trodden upon were broken, and even that in a particular place, an Indian's blanket had dragged over the rocks, and removed or loosened the leaves lying there, so that they lay no more flat, as in other places; all which the Indian could perceive as he walked along, without ever . stopping. At last arriving at the foot of the moun . - tain on soft ground, where the tracks were deep, he found out the enemy were eight in number, and from the freshness of the foot prints, ne concluded that they must be encamped at no great distance. This proved to be the exact truth; for after gaining the eminence on the other side of the valley, the Indians were seen encamped, some having already lain down to sleep, while others were drawing off their leggings for the same purpose, and the scalps they had taken were hanged up to dry. "See !" said Luke Holland


to his astonished companions, "there is the enemy ! not of my nation, but Min- goes, as I truly tell you. They are in our power; in less than half an hour they will all be fast asleep. We need not fire a gun, but go up and tomahawk them. We are nearly two to one and need ap- prehend no danger. Come on, and you will now have your revenge !" But the whites, overcome with fear, did not choose to follow the Indian's advice, and urged him to take them back by the neal - est and best way, which he did, and when they arrived at home late at night, they reported the number of the Iroquois to have been so great that they durst not venture to attack them.


THE ENDERS FAMILY.


A copy of the circular of the "Enders Monumental Association" has been placed in our hands. The objects are so worthy and honorable, that we take the liberty of making these extract: "The object of this Association shall be to erect a Monument over the grave of Cap. Philip Christian Enders and his wife, Anna Appalonia Degen, who lie buried in Armstrong Valley, Dauphin county, Pa., on lands of their grandson, Daniel Enders; secure the preservation and keep sacred the last resting place of the old pioneer and his worthy help mate; to gather and preserve Genealogical Re- cords, Biographical Sketches and all other matter of salient interest connected with their descendants, and create and foster among a common kinship, closer association and a more fraternal spirit. * The regular members shall consist of the descendants of Philip Chris- tian Enders in connection with those who have or may become associated with the former through marriage. * * * We here take occasion to say that Dr. L. Jay Enders, the Secretary of the Association, has been engaged the past few years, in collecting and compiling the genealogy of the descendants all of which will soon be published in a book entitled, "Philip Christian Enders and His Descendants." Some ot the relatives have not yet fur- nished their biographies or family records and as it is the desire of the Compiler to make the promised work as complete and interesting as possible we earnestly

request that those who have not yet done so forward the desired information to the Secretary without delay."


With the circular are given the follow- ing sketch, and record of descendants:


I. PHILIP CHRISTIAN ENDERS, b. July 22, 1740, in Braunsigweiler, District of Zugenheim, Nassau, Germany; d. February 26, 1809, in Halifax town- ship, Dauphin county, Pa. After com pleting his education, he entered the military service of his sovereign, Wil- helm Heinrich, Prince of Nassau, partici- pating in numerous battles of the "Seven Years' War." For gailantry and other soldierly qualities, he was promoted to a captaincy in the Royal cavalry. He sub sequently resigned his commission, and on May 13th, 1764, married Anna Degen, daughter of Conrad Degen, of Sipperts- feld, Nassau A few months later he came to America, accompanied by his bride. His first settlement was in Phila- delphia, and later in this part of then Lancaster county. In 1788 he purchased a tract of over 1,300 acres of land in Upper Paxtang township. On this he permanently located, and here his last years peacefully passed away. He was one of the founders of Fetterhoff church, erected the first saw mill in the Valley, taught the first school, and borea leading part in many other enterprises. In 1796 his wife and eldest son, John Philip, died and were buried few rods from the cabin of the old settler. Thirteen years later the husband and father was laid by their side.
