Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Short History of Asylum Pennsylvania: Founded in 1793; By the French Exiles in America The writer began this history about twenty years ago, at which time he gathered the material and prepared the manuscript for "A History of the Susquehanna Valley." This work contemplated covering the whole North Branch valley from Wilkes-Barre to Tioga Point. Such a history, to be correct, must naturally contain the matter pertaining to Asylum and the French Refugees. I, therefore, prepared at that time much of the matter contained in this booklet. The Reverend David Craft, long a resident of Terrytown and Wyalusing, Pa., and well known as an historian, had written a History of Bradford County in 1878, which contained a brief history of Asylum. Mr. Craft later moved to Angelica, N. Y., at which place resided some descendants of the French Refugees, formerly of Asylum. After writing his history of Bradford County, Mr. Craft published a pamphlet entitled "A Day at Asylum." He came into possession of additional historical matter after moving from this county, which he very generously sent me. I am therefore greatly indebted to him. Mr. Miner, in his history of Wyoming, had also written something about the French Refugees, and to him I wish to give due credit. My grandfather, Joseph Ingham, came to what is now Bradford County in 1793, at about the time the French Refugees came to Asylum. He settled on the Susquehanna River, about eight mlies south of Asylum. His house was in plain sight of the river which was then the principal highway by which settlers came into this territory, and it was also the means by which goods and merchandise were transported in Durham boats which plied up and down the river. Naturally, he learned much about the new settlement at Asylum and its people. Some years later, being a practical millwright, he assisted Charles Homet, Jr., in building a grist mill at Asylum. From him and other members of our family there was handed down, by tradition, considerable information about the French settlers.
