THE SETTLERS OF 150 YEARS AGO.


It is, of course, impossible to present an accurate list of the householders who were here in 1761, after 15 years of settlement. A few of the names we found are probably those of non-residents. On the other hand there were people here who did not own land, and of such there is only casual mention in the record books. The following is therefore only an approximation to the actual fact, the real number being doubtless somewhat larger than here ap- pears. Nearly all were living in Stonewall and at the mouth of Bolar Run.
