1793.] ANNALS OF BUFFALO VALLEY. 283 First Residents of New Berlin - Hugh
Beatty, George Moyer, Christopher Miller, Zeba Smith, Philip Harmony, William
Black, John Mitchell, and Martin Carstetter. Among the names of those who moved
into the Valley this year, I note particularly James McClellan, Esquire, and
Gabriel Morrison, school-teachers, both from Chester county; widow Mary Harris,
grandmother of William Laird Harris, of East Buffalo; John Betz, and Samuel
Baum. Improvements - The bridge across the Buffalo creek, at its mouth, For
this, the court of quarter sessions directed an allowance of £50, ($133 33.) It
was without a roof. Travel now deserted the road by way of the ferry, where the
iron bridge now (1877) stands, for the road on the river bank. Seventy-seven
years elapse, and the engines at the boat-yard of Frick, Billmyer & Co.
frighten it back again. Stedman and Smith keep store at Lewisburg. The
courthouse at Sunbury was commenced. William Gray, of Sunbury, Alexander Hunter,
and John Weitzel were the trustees for building it. O. N. Worden, in a short
history of the Baptist churches, published in Meginness' History of the West
Branch, quotes from the minutes of the Philadelphia Baptist Association, (1794:)
"A letter was received and read from the church in Buffalo Valley,
Northumberland county, requesting to be received into the association.
Postponed, no messenger appearing to receive the right hand of fellowship."
Mr. Worden adds that there were a few Baptists and preaching stations in Buffalo
Valley after the Revolution, but there is no knowledge of any Baptist church in
Buffalo Valley until the formation of the Lewisburg church, in 1844. Colonel
James Moore informs me that Colonel William Chamberlin was a Baptist; and after
his arrival in the Valley, with other New Jersey people of the same persuasion,
he probably made an effort to establish a Baptist church, which was abandoned,
on account of the distance the people lived from each other. Additional Taxables,

we had now made about eighty miles. 6th, we observed a smoke on the other side
of the river, and an Indian trader came over and took us across. We again lay
still to-day. On the 7th we started along one branch of the river, going to the
north-west. An old Shawano, by name Jenoniawana, took us in his canoe across the
creek at Zilly Squachne.* On the 8th we reached the village where Shikelimo
lives, who was appointed to be my companion and guide on the journey. He was,
however, far from home on a hunt. Weather became bad and the waters high, and no
Indian could be induced to seek Shikelimo until the 12th, when two young Indians
agreed to go out in search of him. On the 16th, they returned with word that
Shikelimo would be back next day, which so happened. The Indians were out of
provisions at this place. I saw a new blanket given for about one third of a
bushel of Indian corn." The site of this village is, beyond doubt, on the
farm of Hon. George F. Miller, at the mouth of Sinking run, or Shikellimy's run,
as it was called formerly, at the old ferry, one half mile below Milton, on the
Union county side. It is a beautiful spot for a village; protected on the north
by a range of hills, with the river much narrowed in front, giving easy access
to the Northumberland side. When the land office was open for "the new
purchase," on the 3d of April, 1769, there were very many applications made
for this location. In all of them it is called either old Muncy town,
Shikellimy's town, or Shikellimy's old town. It is referred to as a locality in
hundreds of applications for land in the Valley. I will only quote one:
"Samuel Huling applies for three hundred acres on the West Branch of the
Susquehanna, about one mile above Shikellimy's old town, including a small run
that empties into the river opposite an island." The Huling location was
secured by John Fisher, one of the oldest of our settlers, and West Milton is
now built upon it. Shikellimy's town was on the "Joseph Hutchinson"
and "Michael Weyland," warrantee tracts, from whom the title can be
readily traced to the present owner. Colonel James Moore, who lived there many
years, told me that thousands of Indian darts were plowed up there, and once,
when blasting at the quarry, they uncovered a grave hollowed in the solid rock,
in which they found the skeleton of an Indian. Shikellimy, sometime after
Weiser's visit, removed to Shamokin,
1772 county. Robert and William Clark died on their respective places. Among the
deaths this year occurred that of Michael Weyland, leaving a widow, Magdalena,
and nine children, Michael, junior, Jacob, George, John, Samuel, Mary, (married
to Peter Swartz, junior,) Margaret, (to Christian Moyer,) Catherine, and
Magdalena. He was buried on the place, in an old grave-yard there. Colonel James
Moore told me it was still in existence when his father lived there, a little
piece up the road running from the river.

3. JAMES3 MOOR (WILLIAM2, ?1) was born 1767 in Northumberland County, and
died January 25, 1833 in Beaver County. He married (1) ELIZABETH HUBLEY,
daughter of ADAM HUBLEY and MARY EVANS. He married (2) ISABELLA STEWARD.
Notes for JAMES MOOR:
James Moor was in the revolutionary war of 1812, settled on a large tract of
land in Beaver Co, PA. which was granted to him by the government for his
services as a member of the continental army during the American Revolution. He
inherited land from Thomas Pascal and uncle and sold land to many people in the
Ohio River Valley area. He was a Col. in the 8th PA line under Anthony Wayne and
many of the men who served with him became the early settlers of the area.
1/25/1833
Died-On the 21st inst. Mr. James MOORE, of New Sewickly township, a soldier of
the Revolution, aged rising 80 years. On the 19th inst. Mrs. USSELTON. Consort
of Mr. Samuel USSELTON, of Moon township aged about 40 years.
I find Deed Book 21 pages 221&419 records the sale of three
large tracts of Pa Depreciation Land inherrited by the mother of James
Moore(1753-1833),
Hannah Lewis Moore (1741-18??)from her mother, Margaret Paschall Lewis upon the
death in
1787 of her brother (Moore's grandmother's brother) Thomas Paschall, who
decended from the
wealthy Philadelphia Quaker merchant, Thomas Paschall. Revolutionary soldier and
founder of
this Glenfield, Pa line, John Moore in the 1770's moved from near Limavady,
Northern Ireland, to
Lancaster, PA. He joined the Revolution and probably received land in payment
for his
service. Later he was listed as an Ohio Twp (Allegheny Co) resident in the
"History of Allegheny Co." On, page 231-2 where it records the 27 Oct
1807 election result in Ohio Twp. as John Moore's district. 20,000 acres were
included in the Thomas Paschall inherritance, the most extensive land tracts
were in Kentucky. No record of Kentucky emigrants is found here but the military
units that settled land in western Pennsylvania also may have settled in
Kentucky. The names Grubbs, Merryman are also found with Moore in this Ohio Twp,
Pa area. Forty some years later, the family story was told by the youngest
brother, James Moore, 1767-1838,who arrived in 1818 on the "Thomas
Henry" Londonderry to St.Johns. James's family breifly settled in Glenfield,
Pa with oldest brother John and then moved to Erie, Pa where thousands of
descendants have been recorded from his line starting on pages 1514-1521 in the
Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania Vol II by John Jordan
published in 1915. No Daniel Moore of Va was found in these lines but I believe
there is a strong possibility of a Kentucky link here. There were four Moore
brothers from Limavady and only two are known by name. The great amount of
Kentucky land inherrited by this Pa Moore family would suggest a possible
Kentucky connection there.
'Many of the farms, among which may be mentioned those of Frederick
Merriman, Jacob Fry, Captain Murray, and the one on which Mr. Besterman has
lived for the past twenty-five years, were originally comprised in the twelve
hundred acres which James Moore, grandfather of Mr. John Moore, usually
called "Commodore Moore," owned at one time on these Sewickley hills.
James Moore belonged to the Buffalo Valley, and was one of General
Washington's scouts during the Revolutionary War. Besides these twelve
hundred acres, we find it on the record that he owned six thousand acres in
Kentucky.
It shows something of the character of the man, as we remember the story
about the Indian whose tomahawk grazed his side as he hurled it from his
covert at the white man, when, upon searching for and finding the Indian,
himself wounded and helpless, Mr. Moore conveyed him to a place of safety,
and, like the good Samaritan, bound up his wounds and nursed him back to
health.
To Frederick Merriman, James Moore gave "three hundred acres, more or
less," of his large farm, for a gun, an iron kettle, and a sled. This farm
was situated on the hill at the head of "Turkey foot Run." His son
lives in
the same house in which his father lived in 1810. To another he gave one
hundred acres for three hams.'Followups:

John, one of Mr. Moore's sons, who died out on the old farm twelve hours
after he was bitten by a rattlesnake, was on his way to the new possession,
his sister Mary accompanying his family. When somewhere on the mountains, as
they traveled slowly along, Jacob Fry, a lover of Mary's, riding on
horseback, overtook the party, and offered her on the spot his heart and
hand, begging for an early marriage.
Now, if it were never known that any command of the stately father, who,
arrayed in his cloak and hat, with his military bearing and commanding
appearance, inspired his children with awe, was ever disobeyed; so Mary
replied, "I will never marry you until you bring me the written consent of
my
parents."
Quickly the horse's head was turned towards the home of the brave scout,
and before the party reached their journey's end, Jacob presented himself
with the necessary document, and ere long received his reward.

4. JAMES4 MOOR (JAMES3, WILLIAM2, ?1) was born February 03, 1791 in
Northumberland County, PA, and died December 02, 1858 in ohio Township. He
married LATITIA YOUNG 1818. She was born 1797, and died April 01, 1870.
Notes for JAMES MOOR:
Came in to Allegheny County PA about 1799 from Northumberland County PA. James
gave land for the Blackburn church. They also gave land on Mount Nebo in PA. for
a hospital or nursing home. The following comes from page 391 of the
"Memoirs of Allegheny County"
'John W. Moore, of Glenfield, PA. a highly respected citizen and a prosperous
farmer, was born in Allegheny County, PA, Feb 3, 1836, son of James and
Letitia Moore. The father was born in Northumberland County, PA Feb 3 1791;
married Letitia Young, in 1818, and had fourteen children, eleven of whom
grew to maturity, viz.: Harvey, a prominent United Brethren minister, who for
twenty years was in charge of a church of that denomination at Clearfield,
PA; Sarah, Elisha, Thomas M., Eliza A., Margaret, Martha, Emily, John W.,
Amanda R., and Henry W., a soldier of the Civil war. Two of this large
family still survive, namely, John W. and Henry. Their father died on Dec 2,
1858. and is buried in the Blackburn cemetery, of Ohio Township, and their
mother, who was born in 1797, died on April 1 1870. The grandfather of John
W. Moore was one of the early settlers of Allegheny county, where he owned a
large tract of land which was granted him by the government for his services
as a member of the continental army during the American Revolution.
The grave stone for James and his wife also has Sister Martha born 1835 with
a death date not legible from the photograph. It is unlikely that this would be
the sister of either James or his wife as she would have been born close to
their deaths.

'holy prince'. Archebaldus filius Swani de Forgrunde is mentioned in reign of
William the Lion. Erchnbaldus, Abbot of dunfermelyne mentioned c. 1180, appears
again in the same record as Arkebaldus and Arkenbaldus. Thomas, the brother of
Erkenbaldus, witnessed the gift of the church of Kilmaurs to the Abbey of Kelso
before 1189, and Arkembaldus de Duffus was witness to an agreement between the
bishop of Moray and John buseth concerning the churches of Coneway and
Dulbatelauch between 1203 - 34. Robert Archebalde had a charter of the Hospital
of Roxburgh in 1390 from Robert III and John Archibald was a witness in St.
Andrews in 1545. The "of" (de) form of the personal name is found in
Archambaud (earl of Dougles), 1405. Harrison's explanation of the use of
Archibald for Gaelic Gillespie is probably correct. "Archibald was adopted
by the Scots as a Lowland equivalent of Gillespie because the -bald was
mistakenly supposed to mean 'hairless', 'shaven', 'servant' and therefore to be
equivalet to Gael. gille 'servant', 'shaven one', 'monk'. Harchbald (earl of
Argyll) 1493, Archombaldus 1233, Arkanbaldus 1228, Enkerbaldus a. 1189. (This
