The Muddy Creek Ledger of Greene County

Get your copy now!

The Muddy Creek Ledger was an account book maintained by William Seaton at his general merchandise store on the south bank of Muddy Creek in Cumberland Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania, from 1793 to 1796. It recorded his accounting of business that he conducted with the settlers primarily in Cumberland Township, but also in neighboring Greene Township to the south and Jefferson Township to the north. It was rescued from destruction by Howard Leckey, the historian of the Ten Mile Country including Greene County, in  1936 and archived for today’s historians.

The 168 ledger pages have been computer-enhanced for easier readability in this book. It contains a detailed index for the genealogically-minded reader.

Pastor John Corbly

John Corbally immigrated to America in 1747 as the Baptist religion was introduced in opposition to the King’s Anglicanism. He became a lay minister, but persecution drove him to the Pennsylvania frontier. Ordained, he ministered until his death, established many Baptist churches, and was known as "The ablest Baptist minister of his time in the Pennsylvania frontier.” This is not a retelling of previously printed material; it represents over thirty years of meticulous research. Previously unknown information is disclosed here including: the bogus picture of him, his birthplace, his true first wife, exact locations where he lived in Virginia and Pennsylvania, his long-lost treatise on The Believer’s Defense of Baptism, his involvement in the Ketoctin and Redstone Baptist Associations, his involvement in the Whiskey Insurrection from the government’s point of view, the Corbly Massacre as described in his and his daughter’s letters, and many other previously unknown facts. A detailed index is provided. Get your copy now!
