- History of Mercer County
All History of Mercer County, Pennsylvania: its past and present, its aboriginal history, its early settlement and
deve results for Brackenridge
pg 615-616
"Pioneers -- Thomas McCoy settled in the township (Wolf Creek) in 1796 or 1797, removing thither from Harper's Ferry, Va. He had six sons that settled in the neighborhood, viz.: John, Joseph, James, Thomas, Hugh and William. All grew to manhood, leaving sons and daughters. His neighbors at that time were William Breckenridge, the nearest one; Samuel Waldron, the McKees, William McMillan, Abraham Snyder, William Smith and others. These people had their peculiar sport. One of their tricks was to pull the hair of a comrad who could not say "thump, thunder and thatch." When a German was coaxed into the party and called out "tump, tunder, and tach," he was sure to have his head well plucked. In this game poor Snyder was the sufferer among the Wolf Creek boys."
page 1028:
(relating history of family of James M. Coulter, then states of the family, "About 1804 they removed to this county (Mercer), and settled in Wolf Creek Township, which is now the northern part of Liberty Township, purchasing a farm of Abraham Snyder, which is now owned by Edward Denniston and Joseph Moore."
(Note: Wm Breckenridge mentioned here does not seem to be at least closely related to our Breckenridges who settled in Virginia, unless their connection was in Scotland. This William Breckenridge (Brackenridge) came to America from Campbeltown, Argylshire, Scotland, about 1773, settled first in York Co, Pa; was married to Jane Anderson.
Parents of William appear to be John Brackenridge and Mary Denniston, both born in the 1720s and both died in Scotland.
