Twps. are adjacent, on opposite sides of the Perry-Juniata county line,
so Peter's change in location between 1830 and 1840 was a genuine move,
if a short one):

age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any
individual in column three is duplicated in column four. By subtracting
the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create
an age class "19-25." |

Andrew is presumed to be Peter's father. It appears Peter bought
the land as he came of age, which should have been 26 Oct 1820, as he was
born 26 Oct 1799. So, do we have the wrong birthyear for him?
Was it really 1798?

SCHOOLS.The earliest school-house said to have been in the township
was built of logs on the Stroup farm, in 1788, and taught by ___
Elder.
About 1810 a house was built at the Seven
Star Tavern, in which school was taught by Archibald Steward
and Peter Dawson (who was blind in one eye and very much of a humorist),
William McComb and his wife, Frank Luke, Samuel Dimm and Andrew Stroup.
In 1814 a school-house was built near Cargill's mill (now Dimm's),
not far from the present one.
In 1828 a house was erected near where James Cox now lives, which
was used until the school system was accepted, in 1836. The township
at present has four schools, Dimm's, Wilt, Dressler, and Ferguson, which
contain one hundred and forty-eight pupils. |
