Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memoir of George Chambers: Of Chambersburg, Late Vice-President of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania About the year seventeen hundred and twenty-six four brothers, determined to push their fortunes in the New World, arrived in the city of Philadelphia, as emigrants from the county of Antrim, in Ireland. Among those brothers was Benjamin Chambers, the grandfather of the subject of our sketch - then a youth of seventeen years. He first settled, with his brothers, on a large tract of land which they purchased from the Proprietaries of the Province, on the borders of the Susquehanna, near Fishing Creek. In the year 1730, prompted by that spirit of exploration and love of adventure which so eminently characterized the early pioneers, he crossed to the western bank of the Susquehanna, and, traversing the untrodden Cumberland Valley, reached the confluence of the Falling Spring with the Conococheague Creek. The excellent water-power furnished by these streams, the fertility of the soil, and the beautiful and picturesque scenery, arrested his attention and determined his choice of this spot as his permanent home.
