Item History: |
“There was a fort one mile south of Dutteras Station, in 1855, on the old John May farm, and another between Bonneauville and Two Taverns in 1755.” Ref. "History of Cumberland and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania" Chicago: Warner, Beers & Co., 1886 Part III, "History of Adams County", Pages 315-321 CHAPTER XLII. MOUNTPLEASANT TOWNSHIP. "History of Adams Countiy, Pennsylvania." Chapter XLII Page 3. “There was a fort one mile south of Dutteras Station, in 1855, on the old John May farm, and another between Bonneauville and Two Taverns in 1755.” Around the year 2000, the late Blanch Staub, a volunteer for the John T. Reily Historic Society, gave me a multi-page paper. The title was "The History of Phillips Post". The paper stated that the early name of the town of Bonneauville was Philips Post, and that there was a fort in the town. Among many other claims made was one that many of the barns around the town were used as Civil War hospitals. The paper was neither signed nor dated. There was no credits listed for any of the information. he writings were subsequentyy disposed of. |
