• Notes

  Edsall information from: Families of Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania (C) by J. Kelsey Jones Difference in birthdate from the following source: Records located at Ancestry.com:  submitter - dmartin137@aol.com These records show the date of birth at (about 1756) 1820 Wells Township Census Head of Household -  Samuel Edsal He was a witness to the 1801 deed by which Absalom Carr sold land willed to him by his father, David Carr, of Vernon.  One source says Samuel Barton moved in 1805 from Sussex County to Bradford Co, PA, but he bought land in Newtown (later known as Southport) in 1788 and was a taxpayer there in 1794.  He cleared and improved a large farm, is said to have built the first frame house in Wells in 1812 and was prominent in the community.  Samuel Edsall emigrated from Sussex County, N. J., in 1805, and located in the southern part of the town, on the place now owned by F. A. Brown. Adam Seeley had come in from the same place, and made a little beginning for him. Mr. Edsall cleared up a large farm, and was a man of prominence and influence in the township. The Edsallville post office was first established at Mrs. Edsall's house, and so called after him. Mr. Edsall died upon the place, after which it was occupied and owned by one of his sons who lived upon the place until his death, when it fell to his son John. Mr. Edsall's advent into the town was the beginning of the remarkable immigration from New Jersey, which continued to such an extent that in 1850 one-half the inhabitants of the town were from that State, or from the adjoining county of Orange. –  Reporter Journal, Towanda, May 14, 1885.
