While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
F- Pennsylvania Indian Villages, Towns and
Settlements
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Frankstown. A village, probably of the Delawares, which
seems to have been near the site of the present Frankstown, Blair co., Pa., in
1756. (J. M.)
Friedenshuetten (German: huts of peace). A village
formerly on Susquehanna r. a few miles below Wyalusing, and probably in Wyoming
co. Pa. It was established in 1765 by Mahican and Delaware converts under
direction of the Moravian missionaries, and seems to have been on the site of an
older town. In 1770 the Indians removed to Friedenstadt, in Beaver co. According
to Loskiel (Miss. United Breth., pt. 3, 1794) the name Friedenshuetten
was also applied to a temporary village adjoining Bethlehem in Northampton co.,
settled in 1746 by Moravian converts from Shecomico, who soon afterward removed
to Gnadenhuetten in Carbon co. (J. M.)
Friedensstadt (Germ.: town of peace). A village in Beaver
co., Pa., probably near the present Darlington, settled in May, 1770, .by the
Moravian Delawares from Friedenshuetten. In 1773 they removed to Gnadenhuetten
and Schoenbrunn on the Muskingum. See Languntennenk. (J. M.).
