December 11, 1753. — Washington visits Fort Le Boeuf. [1]

The Indian word connoquenessing has the meaning of “a long way straight.” When George Washington and Christopher Gist returned from their trip to Fort Le Boeuf in the winter of 1753-54 one of the creeks they crossed was this one. On December 27, 1753 at a spot on the east side of this creek an Indian took a shot at Washington—missing him from around fifteen steps distance. Gist wanted to kill the Indian, but Washington declined—evidently deciding it would antagonize Indians he wanted to maintain on a friendly basis.
This was one of the major creeks to be crossed on the Venango Path.

"On the flats of the east side of Connoquenessing Creek, one hundred rods east of this spot, Major George Washington, then a youth of twenty-one years of age, narrowly escaped death, being shot at by a hostile Indian, less than fifteen steps distance, on the evening of December 27th, 1753, as he and Christopher Gist were returning to Virginia from Washington's historical visit to St. Pierre, commandant of the French forts, Le Boeuf (Waterford) and Venango (Franklin), as agents of Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia in delivering to St. Pierre the protest of Governor Dinwiddie against encroachment of the French on territory claimed by the English. Washington and Gist were following the course of the Venango Indian Trail, which crossed the highway at this spot. It followed an almost north and south line from the forks of the Ohio (Pittsburgh) to Venango (Franklin), and was one of the most important of the Indian Trails.

French and Indian War 1754-1763
Virginians took an active part in the French and Indian War (1754-1763) between France and Great Britain, and George Washington rose to prominence as commander of the Virginia forces[6] in which Great Britain defeated France.[7]
In 1754, as an incentive to recruit men for the Virginia Regiment — which eventually bled so at Fort Necessity — Governor Dinwiddie had promised 200,000 acres of frontier land as a bounty. [8]
Valentine and his brother, William Crawford, took the Oath to the King of England and enlisted as privates in the British Army in
1754 at Winchester, Virginia (or Pennsylvania).

Croghan’s chief competitors were the five Lowrey brothers, who were closely associated with the Jewish merchants, Joseph Simon and Levi Andrew Levy at Lancaster; Callender and Teaffe; James Young and John Fraser; the three Mitchells; Paul Pierce, John Finley and William Bryan; and the individual traders, Thomas McKee, Hugh Crawford, John Galbreath, John Owen, and Joseph Neilson. The field available was large enough, however, so that cooperation rather than competition was the rule among Pennsylvania traders.[9]
WesternLands and the Bounty of War
Washington's lifelong interest in land speculation is illustrated in the fight over bounty lands promised to the veterans of the Virginia Regiment who fought with him in the French and Indian War. In this episode Washington acted on behalf of his fellow veterans as well as vigorously, sometimes aggressively, in staking out his own land claims.
In 1754, Lieutenant Governor Dinwiddie issued a proclamation designed to encourage enlistment in the local militia for the war against the French. In addition to their pay, those who enlisted in Lieutenant Colonel George Washington's fledgling Virginia Regiment were offered a share in two hundred thousand acres west of the Ohio River. Unfortunately for the men who fought under Washington in the Braddock and Forbes expeditions against the enemy at Fort Duquesne, they were not to see these bounty lands until more than twenty years had passed, during which time Washington led the struggle to secure their title.

During the Indian Wars roads were opened through the mountains into Western Pennsylvania, the Braddock Road in 1754 and the Forbes Road in 1758. The German soldiers who cut the roads were impressed by the land in Westmoreland and determined to return. The Byerlys, Harrolds, Rodebaughs, and Detars were settled here by 1760, and the Walthours, Millers, and Wegleys by 1764, according to some sources. In 1769 the land was officially opened for settlement and many hundreds of Germans had taken up land by 1776. Most of the settlers were from Northampton, Berks, Lehigh, Cumberland,, Montgomery, Lancaster and York counties. Some came from Maryland, Virginia, or directly from Germany.
Most were either Lutheran or Reformed at first. They were accustomed to share their church property in Europe and in the eastern areas here and they continued to do so in western Pennsylvania. Pastors were expected to baptize children of families from either denomination.[13]
The Ohio Company road was repaired by Washington‘s forces in 1754, and further improved by Braddock‘s forces in 1755. Braddock‘s road and the new Turkey Foot
Road became the principal routes of travel west from Cumberland.[14]

Very interestingly, in 1754, Christina Gottlieb married Abraham Gussman in Lancaster Co., PA. Was this a daughter of George? Do we have a whole family of relatives originating with the Gussmans? Or, perhaps George's wife left him and married another! This could be an interesting (and likely frustrating) area of research.[15]
1754
Lawrence Harrison was a son of Andrew Harrison, who died in 1753 in Orange County, Virginia. In 1754, Lawrence Harrison became a Constable for Orange. Later in that year Lawrence Harrison, joined by his wife, “Catherine,” sold his Ørange County land to William McWilliams, the younger, of Fredericksburg, who had married Rachel, daughter of Lawrence Battaile. Rachel McWilliams was a first cousin to Lawrence Harrison.[16][17]
1754: Albany Conference. 1754. Seven of the British colonies in North America got together and discussed a plan developed by Benjamin Franklin that would form a union with taxing power and able to make decisions on war and peace. The British Board of Trade favored such a unifying pact as being useful in opposition against the French—but was ambivalent about too much cohesiveness among the colonies. Colonies would be represented according to population and the Crown would appoint the president/general. Franklin saw such a pact as being especially useful against Indian incursions on the western frontier.
Virginia and several other colonies did not send representatives to the conference, and when the agreement went back to the other colonies—there was nearly a complete lack of support. Franklin was unable to persuade PA it would be a good idea. The Quakers in the PA assembly scheduled debate on the issue only when certain Franklin would not be able to attend. Being devout pacifists, they would not approve anything of a military nature.
The Albany Conference of June-July 1754 between the British authorities and the Iroquois ceded to PA the land west of the Susquehanna River “as far as the Province extends,” and south to the Kittochtinny Hills. This agreement formed the justification for settlers moving into western PA. In order to curry favor with the Indians in the Ohio area, Britain later rescinded this treaty promising the land west of the Alleghenies to the various tribal groups in a Proclamation in 1763 and then formalized the agreement in the Quebec Act of 1774. By the time these rules came into effect, settlers had already moved west of the Alleghenies, and the Quebec Act became an "intolerable act."
(See Franklin and Lydius.)
The town of Albany (NY) grew from a Dutch settlement c1614 as a trading post (Fort Nassau). It became an important trading center in the 17th and 18th century and is mentioned in several commentaries on trade and treaties. The trade began with the Mahicans, but when the Mohawk recognized the benefits, they had several fights with the Mahicans until the trade became split between the two Indian Nations. The Hudson River carried the ocean vessels of that time up-river to Albany and beyond (Troy, NY). The original Dutch settlement was sometimes referred to as “Orange” (Fort Orange built in 1624). When Canadian Indians[18] traded with “Orange,” they were smuggling. The French did not appreciate "their" Indians trading with the Dutch, but fear of upsetting the sometimes tenuous relationship with their fickle "brother" stopped them from interfering. The Dutch in Albany got into an argument with the "Esopus" Indians in the Hudson Valley, and—in one of those strange alliances, enlisted the help of the Susquehannocks together with Mohawks to settle the dispute. A peace settlement was arranged with the Mohawks and Susquehannocks as allies.[19]

This map is a portion of a larger map by Jeffreys with the same title, see Schwartz (1994). Virginia at this time claimed much of western Pennsylvania as this map shows. It has a fancy engraving on tobacco growing at lower right. A road is shown from Williamsburg to Winchester to Gist's Settlement to Shanopin's T. to Logstown on the Ohio to Vinango on the Allegheny to Fr. Fort on Lake Erie. This route was traveled by George Washington in his negotiations with the French in 1753/54 prior to the French and Indian War. The Fr. Fort was built to control the portage route from the lake into the Ohio River basin via the Allegheny River. These 'magazine maps' started appearing in London publications in mid-century.

December 11, 1770
Lord Dunmore was appointed Governor of the Virginia Colony on December 11, 1770. He left the governorship of the New York Colony, because of his desire to take up selected lands in western New York, with the approval of Sir William Johnson, the Indian agent. The British government ordered Lord Dunmore not to erect any more western counties. But Washington and others kept importuning him to grant patents for the lands which he and William Crawford had selected.
Colonel Thomas Bullit became on of the most interesting figures in this movement, because of his survey of lands down the Ohio Valley. He was an officer in the Forbes army of 1758, and while guarding convoys of the traders along the Forbes Road, suffered his defeat at the hands of the Indians three miles east of Ligonier on May 23, 1759. He afterwards secured a surveyor’s commission from William and Mary College, at Williamsburg, and started marking out lands in the Ohio Valley. Some of his surveys were questioned. The famed William Crawford also received a commission from the same college, and he interested himself mostly in the lands which he had selected for Washington.
John Murray, Earl of Dunmore, otherwise known as Lord Dunmore, was born in Scotland in 1732, and died in England in 1809. He was descended on the female side from the royal Stuarts. When he was appointed Governor of New York in 1770, his salary was to be paid from a duty on tea, but within the next year he was appointed into the governmental and legal life of old Westmoreland County. He is reputed to have visited western Pennsylvania at least three times. He first came in 1773, when Washington was to have accompanied him to the plantation of Justice Crawford (at present Connellsville). Washington was detained by the death of one of the Custis children. In the spring of 1774 Washington again postponed a contemplated visit with Dunmore, and again failed to accompany him. Lord Dunmore visited Pittsburgh and “Fort Dunmore” for the last time in February 1775. Despite his presiding as a justice in the Pennsylvania court at Hannastown, Crawford was all the while in touch with Dunmore, up until at least the April term, 1774, when Connolly appeared at Hannastown.

December 11, 1917: This was the first time Christians had ruled Jerusalem since the days of the Crusaders. While there were three Jewish legions fighting with the British forces, the British were considered a Christian nation by the Moslems of the Middle East. The general that led the forces was General Edmund Allenby. As part of his campaign, leaflets were dropped by plane on the inhabitants of Jerusalem. These leaflets were printed in Arabic telling them to surrender, and they were signed by General Allenby. In Arabic, his name could be misread as “Allah Nebi” which means a prophet of Allah, putting great fear into the hears of those who thought to defy this command.[34]
Allenby was a devout Christian and it is said he always kept the Bibl at his bedside. Out of respect for the city, he dismounted his horse as he approached the Jaffa Gate, entered Jerusalem on foot, and declared “We have returned to you!” This was on December 11f, 1917, and British rule lasted until 1948, when Israel became a sovereign nation.[35]
1918: BUCK CREEK PARISH “BUCKLES RIGHT IN” At the beginning it was decided to hold morning and evening services, although evening services were very difficult for farmers to attend, because it was necessary for them to be home in the evening in order to take care of their stock and do their “chores,” but owing to splendid co-operation of the members and an earnest endeavor to make both service bright and attractive there were good congregations.
As soon as the pastor was settled, a program for the year was outlined. On the basis of such a program the work of the parish was always carried on.
In the yearly program of Buck Creek Church there was always considerable attention given to farm management and rural education. The pastor of Buck Creek Church believed that country ministers must interest themselves in these things if they would wein men in the “land of the Lean Land.”
He knew that no church could thrive in a nonproductive section or in a community where the labor income was small. He sought out the aid which the State Agricultural College gives so gladly to any pastor to bring information practivvally without cost to his people in silo contruction, soil fertility, animal husbandry, corn testing, dairying, fruit rqising, poultry raisihg, gooed roads, rural health and sanitation and subjects that interest the people of rural America.
So interested did the men of Buck Creek Church become, that finally a Men’;s ?Adult Bible Class was organized. In addition to having a fine gathering of men every Sunday the3y were responsible for a good social time once every month. The most constructive piece of work these men did was to finance the buying of sixteen acres of land adjoining the church, with a small house and farm building upon it.
They decided to wreck the old house, and build in its place a fine six room modern home which should be the new parsonage. Sometimes fiftenn teams a dauy were excavating and grubbing until they wrought a perfect transformation. The parsonage and land cost about $5,000, for which these men stood good until such time as the people could pay for it.
About a year afterward it was decided to pay the debt of $5,000. The pastor did a little prelimary work in getting subscriptions. He secured the servi es of President Charles W. Flint of Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, who had charge of finances. President Flint gave a very impressive sermon at Buck Creek Church.
At this service $5,000 was raised in thirty minutes. This paid for the sixteen adres of land and the new home, besides providing athletic grounds and piece of land with timber, pasture and orchards upon it, and an endowment for the church.
Surely there never was a group of more progressive, resourceful and helpful men! If only the men in the rural sections of America would get under the burdens of the church, what a mighty impetus it would be for the regeneration of rural life and the rejuvenation of the villages all over the land. Thjere are always those who will say it cannot be done. But the pastor of Buck Creek Chjurch would reply to such a man.
“There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done;
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to count over, one by one.
The dangers that wait to assail you;
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to singt as you tackle the thing
That ‘cannot be done,’
And You’ll Do it!”
For five years, the men and women and young people and the pastor had “just buckled right in” to the business of rejuvenating Buck Creek Church. During those five years the congregations grew steadily with the modern program. A handful of faithful ones no longer made up the Buck Creek congregation..
In 1870 the church had 60 members on the roll.
In 1912 the church had 67 members on the roll, an increase of 7 in 42 years.
From 1912 to 1914 the church had 87 members on the roll, an increase of 20 in 2 years (with a modern program and non resident pastor).
From 1914 to 1918 the church haed 176 memers on the roll, an increase of 89 in 4 years (with a modern program and resident pastor).
During these for years, 1914-1918, the church received 137 new members. Fifteen were removed b y death and 33 by transfer, making a net increase of 89.

For some time there was no County Agent at Buck Creek. But the community organized a team of men who tored the county giving demonstrations for canning fruits, vegetables and meats, with the result that in every township a Canning Club was organized and the cry, “Save Food,” was heard far and near.
Everywhere these men went they constantly urged the men gto get behind the proposition of securing a County Agant. Eventually the whole county stood behind the idea, and today the county has its own County Agant.
Who can estimate the good that a rural communtyiy derives from these disciples of better agriculture. Our governemt has given every assistance possible in helpin the people of rural America. Through the Department of Agriculture it has sent out eight seven teams to demonstrate scientific agriculture and has appropriated $600,000,000 in order to benefit the farmer generally.
The Department of Education offers every facility adequately to educate the children of rural America so that conditions in country communities have changed very much for the better. County Agents are sent to the farmers’;s very door, assisting him to combat the pests that ravage his crops.
The religious life of rural communities, also, has begun to feel an awakening. All over the country training conferences and rural clinics have been conducted, until today some of our best trained men have heard the “call of the country” and are dedicating their lives to work among the people in these neglected fields and there are signs of a real renaissance in the interests of country life.
The story of Buck Creek Church is only an example of what is happening throughout the country. The Church must enter into the activities of the times. It must serve the whole man, body, mind and spirit. There can be, however, no spiritual leadership without spiritual culture.
One of the reasons for the success of the Buck Creek Church program was the constant emphasis upon evangelism. The church must be alert and efficient to upbuild the individual in strength of character, for the chif function of the church is to transform and encourage social justice in all its activities. It mus emphaxize the consecration of personality to insure this leadership for the future. There must also be a consecration of purposes in order to reconstruct the rurual churches of America, to “fill God’s Hose!”
Such consecration of purpose, such alertness in its activities the pastor of Buck Creek Church has ever found in his parish. This story is a tribgute to the splendid cooperation of his little rural congregation, and passes the results of their work in filling God’s House on to you, that you may recognize in them the stuff that is the backbone of the nation, rural America.[36]

December 11, 1919: Any attempt to make Buck Creek a still larger place territorially through a Methodist led effort to consolidate the rural schools of the area would entail significant social costs. The key question for members of the BGuck Creek Churchy was whether the community and educational benefits of consolidation outweighed the costs of at least a fourfold increase in school propewrty taxes and further destruction of neighborhood relations with Catholic familes in the area. Indeed, somne landowners in the area had to do some careful calculations to be sure that the combination of higher tax rates, rapidly inflatinhjg land values, and higher costs of living would not push them into bankruptcy. Owner operators who had bought land recently and were carrying high denbt loads were in tan exspefcdially precarious position.[39]
For most Catholoics, the question of whether the benefits of consolidation outweighed the costs was not worth considering. Catholic parents saw few, if anyt, benefits of any consolidation proposal that ensured Methodist hegemony over t5he education of their children. For the previous five years they had witnessed their exclusion from much of the social life of the Buck Creek community and their growing marginalization in its political and economic affairs. In the politics of place practiced in Union ‘Township, and increasingly in the rest of Delaware County as well, differences in religion were already politicized. Effors to revitalize rural life in the county structured around the rural or village church practically guaranteed this result.
Although Grant was Chalice’s protégé, he appears not to have been the spell binding preacher his mentor was. Aided nby a quick wit, a warm, out going personality, and relative youth (approximately thrity five years of age), he was, however, equally effecdtive as a community organizer. He won over the young adults in the church almost immedieately and set about organizing them into a large, but still cohesive and informed cadre to convince the more recalcitrant Buck Creekers of the merits of rural school consolidation.
Key members of the group included Roy Dighton, Rudolph Kragenbrink, C.R. “Clell” Moulton, Harry B. Sill, Byron “Binney” Smith, Harold “Happy” Stead, Clyde Thompson, Glen Thompson, Thomas Wilson, and Warren Winch; but there were also some strong supporters of consolidation among the older generation, including Cliff Reed, James A. Wilson, and Harold McBride. [40]

(The stamping of the word “Jew” on identity cards was not imposed in the Unoccupied Zone until after the Germans occupied all of France in November 1942. A Vichy decree issued December 11, 1942, required the stamp of Jews’ identiy cards and food rationing cards.)[45]

[11] Burd. James Burd. Colonel. (1726-1793). Emigrated from Scotland at age 20 and set himself up in business in Philadelphia. Two years later he married Sarah Shippen, daughter of Edward Shippen—former mayor and wealthy merchant. Became a contractor for General Braddock and later General Forbes. Burd was a colonel when sent by General Forbes to Loyalhanna Creek (Fort Ligonier). He rose from captain to colonel in the field specializing in construction of roads and forts. His brother-in-law was Colonel Joseph Shippen. The fort built in his name was on the Monongahela River at the mouth of Dunlap’s Creek (formerly Nemacolin). Reported Fort Pitt non-military population at 149 in 1760. He later served in the Revolutionary army. His service in the revolutionary army must have caused family friction in that several Shippens were Tories.

[12][12] Bedford. Town and county. Named for John Russell, the Fourth Duke of Bedford. The fort was built in 1758 by Henry Bouquet (See Fort Bedford). Originally "Raystown" after the trader Robert Ray(e) (some say John Rae) who arrived on the site in 1750-51. The site was the intersection of several major Indian warrior paths—both north and south as well as east and west. Today, Bedford is the intersection of I-76 (the PA Turnpike), I-99, US 30, and US 220. The location was a natural for settlers from the Philadelphia area traveling to western PA. The Penn Proprietary survey of 1761 set aside the main section of town (known as the "squares"). Nearly the same plot is now a four-by-six-block area designated as the "Bedford National Historic District." Bedford County was originally a part of Cumberland County—until March 9, 1771 when the PA legislature defined its boundaries to include the western portion of the colony south to the MD line.

"Bedford County. Formed on March 9, 1771 from Cumberland County, it first embraced most of western Pennsylavania. Named for its county seat (formerly Raystown) incorporated 1795. In 1758, Fort Bedford was erected here, and Forbes Road-to become a major highway west-was built.
"Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission...."
Bedford County was later split-up into Somerset, Huntingdon, Fulton, Cambria, and Westmoreland Counties—bits and pieces at various times including Washington, Greene, Allegheny, and other (Bedford County could almost be said to have included all of western PA). When the legislature designated the county, the Governor appointed an impressive list of Justices of the Peace: John Frazer, Bernard Daugherty, Arthur St. Clair, William Crawford, James Millingan, Thomas Gist, Dorsey Penticost, Alexander McKee, William Proctor, Jr., Robert Hanna, William Lockery, George Wilson, Robert Cluggage, William McConnell, and George Woods. More would be heard from several within this group after the 1771 date. Arthur St. Clair, for example, was also designated Prothonotary, Recorder of Deeds, Register for the Probate of Wills, etc. George Woods was county surveyor—later responsible for laying-out Pittsburgh.
(See Fort Bedford, Arthur St. Clair, and The Squares.)
Bedford Furnace. The early making of iron used large quantities of charcoal (wood). As time went by, and the use of bituminous coal became prevalent, the "charcoal" furnace became obsolete. The area along the Frankstown Path in Bedford County found the first furnace on Black Log Creek between Shirleysburg (Aughwick Creek) and Shade Gap—now known as Obisonia.

"Bedford Furnace. First iron furnace in the Juniata region, famous as a center for making quality charcoal iron. Located on Black Log Creek below its junction with Shade Creek. Completed about 1788.

Bedford Springs. Settlers identified the medicinal value of the springs around 1796. The Springs are located four miles south of Bedford on old US 220. The original brick and frame house was built around 1800 by Dr. John Anderson and identified as to its magnesia mineral content. Although modest in reputation during its early years, it became a focal point when James Buchanan became President. The Springs was the "Summer White House" of Buchanan and was the place where Buchanan announced in 1859 that he would not seek a second term.

"Bedford Springs. Medicinal values of these springs discovered about 1796. It soon became a leading resort visited by numerous notables. James Buchanan used the Springs as his summer White House while President.

[18] Canadian Indians. A phrase used to encompass the Huron, Algonquin, Ottawa and other Indians living in the lower St. Lawrence region of Ontario and into southern Quebec. This group was the blood enemy of the Iroquois. They were friends of the French dating back to 1609 when they accompanied Samuel de Champlain down to the body of water now known as Lake Champlain. With firearms, they killed several Mohawk including a chief. Some write that this killing gave birth to the Iroquois hatred of the French.
