WESTERN SULLIVAN HISTORY
By Ulysses Bird
At the time the first settlements were made in this part of the country,
it was a part of Northumberland but Lycoming was struck off soon after,
viz: in 1796. Elkland Township then included what is now Fox, Hillsgrove,
Plunkett Creek and Cascade Townships. Forks was then a part of
Shrewsbury.
The first settler in what in now Sullivan County was Daniel Ogdon who
moved to Hillsgrove on the loyal Sock soon after the close of the
Revolutionary War and commenced improvements on the place now owned by
Richard Biddle and built a small gristmill there. It has been learned
from a reliable source that Ogdon was a Tory and no doubt settled here in
the wilderness to escape persecution, if not death, from his more
patriotic countrymen.
His most bitter enemy was a man name Flatt living near Muncy, then known
as Pennsburg. On two occasions, Flatt came over the mountain on purpose
to shoot Ogdon, but did not find him at home, Ogdon did not remain a
great while at Hillsgrove but was there when the settlements were begun
in Forks and Elkland. He seemed to be greatly displeased when settlers
began to come in and said the neighbors were too close for him, so he
sold his land to John Hill and moved up the west branch of the
Susquehanna where some of his descendants still reside.

CORYDON TOWNSHIP occupies the northwest corner of McKean county. Here
Corydon run flows west by north through the northern sections, while the
two branches of Sugar run meander everywhere through the southwest and
center, and flow together near the west line, whence the main stream
rushes down to join the Allegheny river in Warren county, south of
Cornplanter’s run, which also rises here. On the divide between Willow
and Quaker creeks (heads of the Corydon, in the northeast corner), an
elevation of 2,210 feet above tide is recorded; while on the Warren
county line, where Sugar run enters the Allegheny valley, the elevation
is only 1,300 feet. Geologist Asburner, speaking of this section in 1878,
states that the number of houses and shanties there could be counted on
the fingers, and denied the assertion of local geologists in the matter
of coal beds, asserting that never could coal be profitably mined here.
He further termed it the "Barren Township," but acknowledged the
existence of plateaus, to which he ascribed the general character of
those in Lafayette township.
The population of Corydon township in 1880 was 154. In 1888 there were
fifty Republican and thirteen Democratic votes recorded, on which total –
sixty-three – the population was placed at 315.
The seated tax-payers of Corydon township in 1836-37 were Edwin Adams,
James Anderson (a trader), William Brown, John Brown, James L. Baker,
Albert and David Cargill, William Care (tavern-keeper), Benjamin
Chamberlain, Chamberlain & Hall (saw-mill owners), Alfred Forbes
(merchant), Andrew Flatt, Amos Flatt, R.M. Truman, J.W. Field
(tavern-keeper), Seth W. Green, Walter Guy, William Gibbs, Comfort
Hamlin, Orrin Hook, John Haseltine, Abel Morrison, Rice Morrison, Jacob
McCall, Morrison, Stephens & Co. (saw-mills), Moses Parmlee, Zelotes
Parmlee, Juri Perry, B.H. Pike (trades-man), Amos Patterson (merchant),
Abiel Rolfe (tavern-keeper), Walter and George Seaman, Perry Shannon
(saw-mill owner), Clark Stearns, F.H. Tracy, Jonathan Thompson, Ben.
Tome, Isaac Williams, H.N. Wheeler (store-keeper and saw-mill owner),
John Wait (store-keeper) and John E. Woodbeck (trader); A. Foster was the
assessor…Brownell, now of Tionesta, worked in Conover’s saw-mill, at the
head of Sugar run, in 1857. This mill was erected in 1854-55, while the
mills operated by the Templetons, south of the town-line, were erected
much earlier.
Early in 1843 a colony of German Catholics purchased a large tract of
land in Warren county, near the east line of McKean, and established a
commercial village, and in 1843 a post-office was existing at Kinzua.
The Corydon well, on Wilcox creek, one-half mile up stream from the
Allegheny, was in existence in 1850.
