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

Clarissa was born about 1821 to Spences Lathrop and Clarissa Tupper, and she married Harry S Clark 25 Dec 1845. Spencer was either the eldest of second eldest son of Ezekiel Lathrop and Lydia Crocker, who came to Susquehanna County in 1801 from New London, CT.....their daughter Lydia Lathrop (Spencer's sister) married John Pneuman about 1815 in Springville, Susquehanna County.

Spencer died very young on 12 Jan 1825 and Clarissa (Spencer's wife) must have struggled because their children Oliver, Polly and Clarissa appear on the annual tax lists as poor children which meant that the township paid for their schooling.

-------
Nehemiah Lathrop was a blacksmith and lived all his life in what became Dimock township.. he was the eldest son of Ezekiel and Lydia Lathrop born abour 1788 in CT. He came to PA with his parents in 1801 and later married Marcia Tupper. According to the 1830 census, they had 5 sons and 3 more daughters, and she was between 30 and 40 at the time. By 1840, they had 3 more daughters.

Nehemiah was alive in 1870 at the age of 82, and Marcia died "at her home near Elk Lake on 9 Sep 1881 aged 89" accordng to the national record

-------
Spencer was, I believe, the second son of Ezekiel and Lydia.He married Clarissa Tupper in Rush, Sep 1808. He was a farmer according to the Springville Tax records, but apparently didn't prosper. The republican reports his early death on 12 Jan 1825

TUPPER Line
by Bruce Julseth
Thu Jul 18 1991
-------------------------------

In The TUPPER Genealogy, there is a statement:

"In company with Deacon William LATHROP, moved from Unadilla, NY
to Rush Twp, Susquehanna Co., PA about 1799."

Also, Clarissa's sister, Maria, married Nehemiah LATHROP so I would think
William is a contender for Spencer's father.

Notes:

The trolley has just stopped at the Neffsville Hotel in this photograph

taken about 1907. This hotel was built in 1812 by Leonard Fiddler and

later owned and operated by my neighbor Sam Sherman.

It was an ordinary day. Talking with the secretary at the Landis Run Inter- mediate School in Neffsville, PA. I do their yearbook as well as the in-house printing for the school. She mentioned that she saw me standing in the square in Neffsville taking photos this morning. Told her that I was writing a story about Hauck's Store that used to stand on the corner and also managed to snap a few photos of the old Neffsville Hotel which was katy-corner from Hauck's. When Carol and I purchased our first home in the Grandview Heights neighborhood of Lancaster, we lived a few doors from a fellow named Sam Sherman and his wife, Beatrice, and their daughter Estelle. Sam was quite a few years older than me and we never got to know each other very well, but I did talk to him a few times about the hotel and bar that he ran called the Neffsville Hotel. Seems that Neffsville was originally called "Fiddler's Green." In 1812 Leonard Fiddler built the first hotel on the square in Neffsville on the northwest corner of the intersection. He was said to have played his violin regularly under a green tree next to the hotel, thus the name of "Fiddler's Green."

This is what the same corner looks like today. The old hotel

is now a flower shop. It opened in 2003 on the square.

The hotel functioned as such for many years, under different manage- ment, until it was finally purchased and turned into a flower shop. Sam ran the hotel and bar throughout the time that I can remember being a student at the nearby Manheim Township Jr. HIgh and High School. He eventually closed the hotel and it sat vacant for close to six years before the flower shop added an addition on the south side of the building and opened their store. The flower shop is still in operation today. Sam and his wife have since died, but many in Neffsville still remember the glory days of the Neffsville Hotel when Sam ran the place. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
