“EARLY INDUSTRIES


 


   Daniel Vincent, from Essex county, New Jersey, built a mill on


Warrior run, one of the first mills in the northern part of the county.


This was a log building, and was replaced in 1792 by a stone structure.


The Truckenmiller mill and the old Wilson mill, also on Warrior run,


were established at a later date. Alexander Guffy had a distillery in


operation prior to 1800, and several establishments of a similar


character have since been conducted by different individuals. An


equally important industry was the ashery of a Mr. Harrison, where


potash, soda, and other products of ashes were manufactured. The


proprietor opened a road from his establishment to the Susquehanna


river; it received the name of "the Potash road," which still retains


local significance. In recent years a tannery was operated by Jacob


Stitzel, but at the present time, so far as the industrial interests of


the township are concerned, Delaware is best described as an agricultural


region.”

    Hi! I am researching my Vincent and Watson families of Watsontown, Northumberland County. Currently, I've been trying to find records of their service in the War of 1812. Isaac Vincent, who you have mentioned on the last line of this post, served in a cavalry, under a David Rittenhouse, also mentioned on that line.

    I'm wondering if you have any other records that might mention my Vincent or Watson family members? Are the pages you are showing from a Truckenmiller book?

    Thank you! And, thanks for sharing this information.

      I do not know why I often miss these messages - and I hope that you can see my reply, even though it's over a year late!  There is no Truckenmiller book that I am aware of, although I'm working on one.  Everything here is just assorted research.

    Hello, from a distant Truckenmiller cousin. I've newly added this line to my 2 x's great grandmother, Sarah Sally Hill (Davis). All roads point to Jacob T. Hill and Mary Ann as Sarah's parents. Jacob T Hill is son of Susannah Truckenmiller and Daniel Hill. (Lycoming and Northumberland counties, PA.
     What for many years has stumped me about my Sarah Sally Hill is her parentage And Ethnicity. She died young, like her mother Mary Ann, not long after losing a child, named Osceola. Intuitively I've wondered about Sarah's ethnicity. Now I've located an 1850 census record which could be Sarah's mother, Mary Ann Hill in Milton, Northumberland, PA. She is listed as black. Ancestry dot com lists my dna composition to include 0.9% N.Africa (abt 200+ years ago a full blooded African ancestor.) 
    I know how hard it can be to track another person's (nutshell) lineage, and just thought I would put this out to you. 
    I enjoyed your blog very much! Thank you.
