In Mr. Howard L. Leckey's History of the Ten Mile Country, which was in the Monongahela region on the west side of the
river and included the country drained by the Big Whiteley, the Little Whiteley, Dunkard, Muddy and Wheeling Creeks, he
says two churches were built; one at Gerrard's Fort, the other at Jacob Van Meter's plantation on Muddy Creek. The
Reverend Mr. John Corbly preached at both churches twice a month. These were of the Baptist persuasion and were stern in
their doctrines and members were willing, as in the case of the earlier Puritans, to have their lives scrutinized and judged by their
fellow community members. John Guthery's name, with his wife Lydia, is on this early list and may be seen with the names of
their neighbors in Mr. Leckey's book. They attended the church at Big Whiteley Creek as it was near their home. They spent
the whole day at church, which was a day of social diversion, of setting problems right, renewing old acquaintances, airing
scandals, making matches, and otherwise uplifting their spirits and setting right the troubled experiences of the week. It was
their guide and their help in time of trouble and we may envy them their source of inspiration and refreshment.

The labor and danger of coming hundreds of miles from the east, over mountains and through streams,
on foot or horseback, with no comforts of travel or living, was sufficient to try the strength and
courage of the hardiest people, and the result was a race of hardy settlers. Many of them came from
Maryland and Virginia, over the old Braddock route from Cumberland, crossing the Allegheny
mountains and Laurel Hill.

The winter of 1779-80, when William Wallace and his bride began life on the frontier, was one of
exceptional cold. In January 1780 the harbor of New York was frozen over so solidly that the British
drove laden wagons on the ice from the city to Staten Island. The snow in February was four feet
deep in the woods and in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania, stopping all supply trains from the
east, and the weather continued exceedingly cold for two
Page 39

months. The destruction of animals and birds was great, and the sufferings of the settlers intense. They
began to do their part in winning the West, under conditions sufficient to appall any but the stoutest
heart.

The pioneer life was one that their descendants can never understand or appreciate, and that in
Western Pennsylvania during the years of the Revolution, was unusually severe and trying. The
constant battle with the forces and conditions of nature was so severe as to try their fortitude, but was
nothing to the awful scenes that took place with the wild beasts and savages. They lived in an almost
unbroken forest, except where a settler had cleared space for his cabin and a few acres for tilling.
They had but few neighbors, whose rallying point in times of danger was the blockhouse or the fort,
the rigors of their life and the constant exposure to imminent danger, dulling the bright and joyous
features of life.

A chronicler gives a picture of one scene in a settler's lonely cabin: "Night closed upon him in his
rough house, with his faithful dog and rifle by his side. Lying in his rough bed or hammock, reptiles
were coiled on the earth beneath his bed, while hordes of ravenous wolves attracted by the savory
venison, their appetites whetted and stimulated to uncontrollable fury, howled about the cabin
threatening the life of the settler." These conditions, with the ever present danger from a raid of hostile
savages, made a scene of loneliness, desolation and horror, that cannot be depicted on paper or
canvas.

During the period from the time Col. Wallace settled in Washington county until many years
afterwards, raids of the Indians were frequent, and it was in these raids, and preparations to repel threatened attacks, and
drive the savages westward, that the Rangers of the Frontiers rendered such great service in the
founding of our Republic. They were not in the conflict opposed to armed and disciplined soldiers
from Europe, like their comrades in the east, but they had to meet and conquer the bushwhacking
savages who lurked in the woods and fell on the unsuspecting settlers, and were backed by the skilled
and crafty British bands in the west. The awful barbarity of the savages lent horror to the warfare, and
it was worse in ferocity, if not in the actual dangers of battle, than the more civilized warfare in the
eastern part of the country.

The following are a few of the raids of the savages during the closing years of the Revolution, but not
all that occurred, taken from the local histories:

Sunday morning March 12, 1780, a party of Wyandotts shot and tomahawked five men and carried
away three boys and three girls in the southern end of what is now Beaver county, on Raccoon creek.

April 27, 1780, Col. Broadhead wrote to the president of Pennsylvania, that "between 40 and 50
men. women and children have been killed or taken from what are now called Yohogania.
Monongalia and Ohio counties," the former containing the Monongahela region.

About the middle of September 1780, the Wyandotts fell upon the settlements on Ten Mile Creek,
and killed and carried away 7 persons. This was close to Col Wallace's residence.

February 10, 1782, a large body of Indians visited the

dwelling of Robert Wallace, Raccoon creek, Washington county, in his absence, killed his cattle and
hogs, plundered the cabin of everything, and carried away his wife and her 3 children. Mrs. Wallace
was found afterward, impaled on the sharpened trunk of a sapling and her infant child killed and
mutilated.

Sunday May 12, 1782, Rev. John Corbly and family while walking to their meeting house, on Muddy
Creek, in what is now Greene county, were attacked by savages, the wife and 3 children killed and
scalped, and 2 daughters scalped who afterward recovered, the father alone escaping.

September 13, 1782, seventy Indians attacked and besieged the blockhouse of Abraham Rice on
Buffalo creek, a short distance from Col. Wallace's, but were defeated.

In April 1783, a band of the savages killed one man and captured a dozen persons, within a mile of
Washington, the county seat.

These are but a few of the awful experiences of that period, the people being kept on the constant
watch to prevent sudden attacks, and scores were prevented by such vigilance. It was a common
occurrence, for men to carry their rifles to the woods or fields where they worked, to the house or
grove where they worshipped, and never to be without them close at hand. When an uprising
occurred, or when the authorities called for men to prevent incursions of the savages or drive them
out, then the Rangers of the Frontier were on hand, and under their proper officers made short work
of any parties of Indians that prowled around.

William Wallace and wife and their friends who came
with them to the county, were truly pioneers in that wild region. But a few years before it was
uninhabited, and when they arrived to make their homes, it was still a wilderness and the hunting
ground of the savages.

The first settlements in the original limits of Washington county, Pa., were in 1766, and in 1767, the
cabins of the white men were first built. The Monongahela river was crossed, and settlers had
stopped at the mouth of Ten Mile creek and settled on Raccoon creek. Settlements began in earnest
about 1770.

The Indians had no permanent dwelling places in the county, although Shingis a King, and Catfish a
warrior, of the Delawares, had hunting lodges, the former at the mouth of Chartiers creek, and the
latter where Washington now stands. From the spring of 1774, when Cresap stopped at Catfish
camp with his party, at the beginning of Dunmore's war, until 1795, there was no time when fear did
not find a place at the fireside of the settlers.

Westmoreland county was organized February 26, 1773, and remained intact until March 28, 1781,
when Washington county was erected from it. After the organization of Washington county, the
following counties were erected:

Fayette county from Westmoreland county September 26, 1783.

Allegheny county from Westmoreland and Washington counties September 24, 1788.

Greene county from Washington county February 7, 1796.

Beaver county from Allegheny and Washington counties March 12, 1800.
