*******************************************
Ebenezer P. Clark was assessed in Towanda in 1812. He lived near Myer's Mills, and afterwards in Towanda, thence moved down the river opposite Wyalusing.

Most people familiar with Towanda history know that the borough's oldest house is located at 1 York Avenue, at the bend with Main Street. An example of Federal architecture, it was built in 1812 and was originally built as a combination tavern and home by Col. Harry Spalding. It was a stagecoach stop when York Avenue was known as Post Road and once even contained a ballroom for dancing during one phase of its 192 years of service. As is the case with most of these homes, it still serves as a home and retains its historic look.

** 1815 Petition for road construction ****

Road from Breakneck Run to State Road—
At a court of quarter sessions, county of Bradford, May 1815, the petition of John Spalding, Zephon Flower, David Paine, Lodawick Carner, Henry Boyer, Ebenezer P. Clark, Wm. Coolbaugh, David Eiklor, Wm. Fergason, Walter Wheeler, Moses Warfold, David S. Blackman, Asa Stevens, Elijah Horton, Wm. W. Spalding, Elijah Towner, Franklin Blackman, Thomas Bull, John Lent, Wilber Bennett, Ebenezer Shaw, Jonathan Stevens, Joseph Kinney and Wm. Myer, inhabitants of Ulster and Wysox, was presented, setting forth that "it would be practicable to make a road along the narrows below where the road turns off at the lower end of Breakneck to go over the mountain to Wysox: that such road would not only save traveling over a very bad mountain, but would shorten the distance a quarter of a mile and be of great public utility; that it may not be improper to inform the court that it is the expectation of the inhabitants of Ulster and Wysox to open the road (if laid out) by subscription; therefore petitioners pray for the appointment of viewers," etc.

Whereupon the court appoint Joseph Kingsbury, Richard Horton, Elijah Horton, Jr., Adonijah Warner, Stephen Patrick and Robert Ridgway.

At September sessions viewers report "that they have viewed the ground and are of the opinion that it is practicable for a road, and have accordingly laid one out agreeably to the courses and distances and plot hereto annexed, and believe the same will be of public utility."

This road began on the State road, opposite the court house, about 50 rods from the river, running nearly north along the side of the mountain toward the river to what is now the present road, about one-half mile south of the railroad bridge. From here the course of the road was the same as now along the river to Breakneck run at the Johnson place. The report was finally confirmed at December sessions and road ordered to be opened of the breadth of 30 feet.

Ebenezer P Clark did teaming work for Col Harry Spalding. Col. Spalding married Lemira Saterlee) Hence the naming of 2 children in his honor (Harry Spalding Clark, and Lemira Satterlee Clark)

William Myer, born February 8, 1780, was the eldest son of Jacob Myer. In 1800 he went to Wysox, purchased a mill site and secured the right to control the flow of water from Lake Wysauking. He put up a hewed log house into which his father and family moved the next year. Working together, they built a grist-mill, which was supplied by water power from Wysox creek and Lake Wysauking. They soon after built a saw-mill that was run entirely by water from Wysox creek. He early took an active part in public affairs, being commissioned a justice of the peace, 1807. Upon the formation of Bradford county, he was elected one of the first county commissioners, 1812, and again elected to the same office, 1819. He was chosen a member of the Pennsylvania assembly in 1822 and also served his townsmen in many civil capacities. He married Joanna, daughter of Nathaniel Hickok, died May 15, 1842. She was born, 1783, died April 15, 1825. Their children were: Harriet, Elizabeth, Sarah, Emeline Esther, Mary Ellen, Susan, Elijah Reed and Helen Maria. Mr. Myer married for his second wife, Mrs. Lemira (Satterlee) Spalding, widow of Col. Harry Spalding. ** From Heverley Pioneer and Patriot Families of Bradford County, Page 314

Samuel Clark came to Ulster soon after his brother, Capt. Benjamin Clark. In the census of 1790 his family is given as consisting of five males and three females. Mr. Clark met a tragic death on Christmas, 1808. He had a contract for building a section of the State Road, crossing the county from east to west, and while engaged on the Gregg place in clearing away brush, was shot in mistake for a deer by a neighbor. But little is known of his family. One son, Ebenezer P. Clark, was for a number of years a resident of Towanda and did teaming for Col. Harry Spalding. Harry S. Clark, son of Ebenezer P., born 1823, is still a resident of Towanda. .... FROM Pioneer & Patriot Families of Bradford County PA 1770-1800
