gg- -.: :- -:Ai A-S-1 Qi? -F-, 15 erty, with liberty of building mills and flowing a pond, but so as not to ob' struct or hinder Chapman's mills-provided they have a sawmill ready to go by the' first day of November, 1773, which gift shall be to them, their heirs and assigns forever. This was the first sawmill built on the upper waters of the Susquehanna. As soon as the mills were built and in opera' tion, a ferry was established at the mouth of Mill Creek to Forty Fort. The old Indian fortifications, as they are called, were on the river flats, on what is now known as the Hancock property, and on a direct line from Swoyer Hill to the Susequehanna river, just northwest from the borough's colliery. The farm was that of a four bastion battery, well calculated for defense if properly located. EARLY BURYING GROUNDS. There are three places in the township that were once known as bury' ing grounds. The Gore burying ground was on the flats, between the old plank .road and the canal, northeast of the Henry Colliery. Another was near the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the northern part of the township, and the third in Wilcox's field, near Plains village. These grounds have long since been abandoned, and no stone marks the resting place of the dead. THE LooM AND THE CoAL CIRATE. The Pioneer Weaver of the Plains was james Campbell, a Scotch' Irishman. He was an expert in the art of weaving, and was noted for the fancy work that he turned out from his loom. In 1815 George Gore work' ed at blacksmithing on the flats, near the Gore burying ground. Many interesting facts might be mentioned in regard to the later settlers of Plains, especially with respect to coal, which lack of space def nies. Cne incident in connection with this, is the statement that in 1808 Henry Stark, of this township, having seen coal burned successfully for the first time in a grate by Jesse Fell, returned home and became the pioneer in coal burning in Plains. Later history records the names of Col. G. M. Hollenback, Crandall Wilcox and others in this same industry. , BANK OCCUPIES ORIGINAL TAVERN SITE. The first tavern of which we have an account was kept by John Cortf right in 1815, on the site now occupied by the Brick store, and the Plains State Bank. ' s PLAINS TOWNSHIP OF ToDAY. The present area of Plains Township is approximately 38 square miles, nine and onefhalf times that of WilkesfBarre and is the largest town' ship in size in the state. The population, which is rapidly increasing, is about l'7,000. . I. ALEC MCCAA. - .. as .. sii' f I ii:.ij'3t.it Q i 5 I 8.39 . f' w I Q' ff.
