Linn, _Annals of Buffalo Valley_ (Harrisburg, 1877), pp. 558-563. Some
data are also available in Linn, _History of Centre and Clinton
Counties_.

The tax listings were located in the _Pennsylvania Archives_, Third
Series, XIX, 437, 468, 557, and 618-622. Mrs. Russell also collected a
listing for the years 1774 to 1800 for Northumberland County. Court
records, pension claims, Meginness' _Otzinachson_ (1889) and _Frontier
Forts of Pennsylvania_ provided the remaining data.

of the Unity Conferences of Christian Endeavor and presents a copy of a
letter written on Dec. 17, 1741, calling for a New Year's Day meeting of
Christians in Germantown in 1742 in support of this statement. Of his
minor judicial role, MacMinn offers this account published in
Christopher Saur's _Pensylvanische Berichte_ for May 16, 1756: "Were
such magistrates more numerous, the poor would not have cause to
complain and to weep over gross injustices which they have to suffer
because persons are respected."

Butler Papers, Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, Wilkes-Barre,
Pa. Patterson, speaking of Antes' failure to arrest Zebulon Butler, said
of Antes: "The Sheriff has not done his duty nor do I believe he intends
it being. A party man among which I am sorry to see so little principels
of humanity or honnor, Men who wish for popularity at the Expense of the
Propperty and perhaps blood of their fellow Citizens...."
