[25] The cases referred to here are: _Hughes_ vs. _Dougherty_, _Huff_ vs. _Satcha_, and _Grier_ vs. _Tharpe_. They were located in the Appearance Dockets of Lycoming and Northumberland counties in the respective prothonotaries' offices. _Hughes_ vs. _Dougherty_ appears in the Northumberland County Docket for November, 1783, to August, 1786, in the February term of the Court of Common Pleas, file 42. Both the Huff and Grier cases were found in the Lycoming County Docket No. 2, commencing 1797, court terms and file numbers indicated as follows: _Huff_ vs. _Satcha_, February, 1799, #2, and _Grier_ vs. _Tharpe_, May, 1800, #41. A partial deposition by Eleanor Coldren, _Now and Then_, XII (1959), 220-222, was also employed. Although the case appears to be _Dewitt_ vs. _Dunn_, I could not locate it in the Appearance Dockets. Depositions taken in the Huff and Grier cases were published in Linn, "Indian Land and Its Fair-Play Settlers," pp. 422-424. [26] Leyburn, _The Scotch-Irish_, p. 205.

Maynard has reprinted here some excerpts from John Hamilton's "Early Times on the West Branch," which was published in the Lock Haven _Republican_ in 1875. Unfortunately, recurrent floods destroyed most of the newspaper files, and copies of this series are not now available. John Hamilton was a third-generation descendant of Alexander Hamilton, one of the original Fair Play settlers. [42] Meginness, _Otzinachson_ (1857), p. 193. [43] _Ibid._ An alleged copy of the declaration published in _A Picture of Clinton County_ (Lock Haven, 1942), p. 38, is clearly spurious. The language of this Pennsylvania Writers' project of the W.P.A. is obviously twentieth-century, and it contains references to events which had not yet occurred. [44] _Fithian: Journal_, p. 72.
