Church, in honor of his woods companion, Mr. Van Campen. Harrison and Higgins were the first settlers. Six or seven miles up the river, above Philipsburgh, a settlement was commenced by Joseph and Silas Knight. The first settlement down the river, was founded by the Sandfords. No new country has probably ever been opened for sale and set tlement, that had as rugged features, as much of difficulty to over come, as the territory which comprises the county of Allegany. Heavily timbered throughout,... with the exception of small spots up on the river, it was many years before the roots were out so as to admit of easy cultivation. The new settlements in all early years, were extremely isolated. The wide forests of the Holland Pur chase bordering upon them, had been but little broken into, as late as 1809 or 10, and after that for many years, settlement upon them advanced but slowly. When the settlers began to have any thing to dispose of, they had no market, but such as involved a ruinous cost of transportation, over long woods, roads, and up and down steep hills.
