TOWNSHIP HISTORY (Bell 1891): Northumberland Co. ceded the following townships in 1813: to Columbia Co.went Bloom, Brier Creek, Catawissa, Chillisquaque, Derry, Fishing Creek, Greenwood, Hemlock, Mahoning, Mifflin, Sugar Loaf, and Turbot; to Union Co. went Beaver, Buffalo, Centre, Hartley, Mahantango, Penn, West Buffalo, and White Deer. In 1815, Turbot and Chillisquaque were reannexed to Northumberland. "Turbot" is the current official spelling, but you will often see it spelled "Turbut" or "Turbet" in historical documents. (The Washington Twp. in Snyder Co., today, was formed in 1818 from Penn Twp. while in Union Co., i.e., the Washington Twp. currently in Snyder Co. was a new creation and not originally part of the Washington Twp. currently in Northumberland Co.) In the 1830 Census, there was an Augusta Twp. in Northumberland Co. Presumably, this township was later divided into the Upper and Lower Augusta Twps. above. Ditto Chillisquaque, into East and West sections, which also occurs in the 1840 Census.

| PERRY COUNTY [Disk 8] |
| FORMATION: 1820 from Cumberland Co. The region that would
become Perry Co. was Amerindian territory prior to a treaty in 1754 that
annexed the region into Cumberland Co. In 1820, Perry Co. was formed
from seven Cumberland Co. townships, namely: Buffalo, Greenwood,
Juniata, Rye, Saville, Tyrone, and Toboyne.
TOWNSHIPS (as of 1990): Buffalo, Carroll, Centre, Greenwood, Howe, Jackson, Juniata, Liverpool, Miller, Northeast Madison, Oliver, Penn, Rye, Saville, Southwest Madison, Spring, Toboyne, Tuscarora, Tyrone, Watts, Wheatfield. HISTORICAL: There is a Madison Twp. in the 1840 and 1850 Censuses that was presumably later split into Northeast Madison and Southwest Madison. BOROUGHS (as of 1990): Blain, Bloomfield, Duncannon, Landisburg, Liverpool, Marysville, Millerstown, New Buffalo, Newport. NOTE: Greenwood Twp. was formed in 1767 in Cumberland County.
The township was split in two in 1789 when Mifflin Co. was formed from
Cumberland County. In 1820, Perry Co. was formed from Cumberland
Co. and included Cumberland's part of Greenwood Twp.; in 1823, Liverpool
Twp. was formed from Greenwood. In 1831, Juniata Co. was formed from
Mifflin Co. and included Mifflin's part of Greenwood Twp. Obviously,
the two Greenwood Twps. are adjacent and are, today, on opposite sides
of the Perry-Juniata county line.

Cos. The boundaries of the county have not changed since 1818.

| SNYDER COUNTY [Disk 10] |

EXTINCT TOWNSHIP (Bell 1891): Mahantango Twp. was formed in 1795 from Penn's Twp. In 1816, Mahantango Twp. ceded land to Perry Twp. and, in 1818, to Washington Twp., at which point Mahantango Twp. ceased to exist. Perry and Washington Twps. were further subdivided to form West Perry, Chapman, and Union Twps. These were among the townships ceded by Union Co. to form Snyder Co. in 1855. Therefore, inhabitants shown living in "Mahantango Twp., Northumberland Co." in the 1800 or 1810 censuses were actually living in what later became south-central and southeastern Snyder Co. BOROUGHS as of 1990: Beavertown, Freeburg,
McClure, Middleburg, Selinsgrove, Shamokin Dam.
