Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Franklin County, Pennsylvania: Prepared for the Centennial Celebration Held at Chambersburg, Penn'a, July 4th, 1876, and Subsequently Enlarged Neither William Penn nor his sons, John, Thomas and Richard, who succeeded to his rights as proprietors of the colony after his death, in 1718, were ever willing that settlements should be made anywhere in their new possessions without the consent of the Indians, until their claims to the soil had been extinguished by purchase. Thus for nearly seventy years the best state of feeling existed between the settlers and the Indians. The latter were pleased to have the former come amongst them, pointed out voluntarily the most desirable locations for settlement, encouraged the making of improvements, and lived in peace with those who thus became their neighbors. The lands in the "Kittochtinny," or present Cumberland Valley, were not purchased from the Indians until October, 1736, and were not, therefore, before that time open for sale. But for several years prior to that period the agents of the proprietors, knowing the feelings of the Indians to be favorable, had encouraged settlers to come hither, and had issued to them special licenses for the settlement and securing of such tracts of land beyond the Susquehanna, or "Long, Crooked river," as might please their fancy. The lands embraced in Amberson's Valley, Horse Valley, Path Valley, and the present counties of Bedford, Fulton, Blair, Huntingdon, Miflflin, Juniata and Snyder were not purchased from the Indians until October 23d, 1758. History says that Benjamin Chambers was the first white man who made a settlement in what is now known as the county of Franklin. He was a native of the county Antrim, Ireland, of Scotch descent, and between the years 1726 and 1730 emigrated, with his brothers James, Robert and Joseph, to the Province of Pennsylvania. At that time neither Lancaster, York, Harrisburg or Carlisle had any existence. Harris' Ferry was the most prominent place in the interior of the State, and to that point the Chambers brothers made their way. Having heard of the beauty of the location upon which our town now stands, Benjamin boldly pushed out into the wilderness, was kindly received by the Indians, and obtained permission to settle on the place of his choice and make it his own. This was about the year 1730; and on the 30th of March, 1734, Thomas Blunston, the agent of the proprietaries, gave him a license "to take and settle and improve four hundred acres of land at the Falling Spring's mouth, and on both sides of the Conocochege Creek, for the conveniency of a grist mill and plantation."

Never within the recollection of our oldest citizen has this county been visited by such a freshet as passed down the East Branch of the Conococheague creek on Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th of November, 1877. On Thursday morning preceding, the rain began to fall, and continued steadily, though not very heavily, through all that day and night. On Friday the 23d it rained steadily, and at times quite heavily. During Friday night the largest quantity of water fell. Saturday morning and forenoon the rain fall was at times quite heavy, and at other times none fell. About noon of Saturday the Conococheague creek which passes through Chambersburg, began to rise, though no apprehensions were felt that the. flood was going to be a destructive one until about four o'clock, P. M. It then became evident that much damage would be done to both public and private property along its course. So rapidly did the stream rise just before night fall that various persons residing near it who thought themselves safe above high water, had to flee for their lives, leaving their household goods to the mercy of the angry waters. By six o'clock the arches of the stone bridge over the creek on Market street were nearly filled by the water, which had also risen almost up to the lower floors of John Miller's, Hotel and the dwelling east of it on the bank of the creek, inhabited by Reed M'Donald. At this time the scene at the furniture factory of "H. Sierer &...
