• Notes

  Crawford County, Pennsylvania History 1876 ATLAS "HISTORY OF THE VILLAGES AND TOWNSHIPS OF CRAWFORD COUNTY." STEUBEN TOWNSHIP The township was organized in 1861, from portions adjacent of Athens, Troy, Oil Creek, and Rome, for convenience in holding elections, and the first town election was held at Hanna's house, between Tryonville and Townville. James Tryon was elected the first "squire," and Ezra Carpenter the second. The township is in shape regular; in area it has thirteen thousand seven hundred and seventy-two acres. Wrecks of old saw-mills indicates a former lumbering industry. The timber which was destroyed to make clearings in early days would, if standing, be a rich heritage to the children of the pioneers. Dennis Carroll settled below Tryonville about 1808. It is asserted that he was the only settler to that point south of Centreville until 1828. James and David Tryon, from Litchfield, Connecticut, settled in what is now Rome Township, and in the spring of 1828 removed to what is now Tryonville, became owners of seventeen hundred acres of land, and the founders of the village bearing their name. James McGinnis and family settled just east of Tryonville Station in 1829. Col. Kingsley, from near Troy, New York, came to Steuben in 1822, and took up land just north of Townville. Noah Town bought land in 1824, upon which the village which perpetuates his name is laid out. 1860 United States Federal Census <http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=7667&enc=1> about James Mcginnis Name: James Mcginnis Age in 1860: 59 Birth Year: abt 1801 Birthplace: Pennsylvania Home in 1860: Steuben, Crawford, Pennsylvania Gender: Male Post Office: Meadville Household Members: Name Age James Mcginnis 59 Susan Mcginnis 60 Mary Mcginnis 21 on tax lists 1818 1826 in Meadville Library as Rankin J and James Jr. (?) along with William McGinnis
