Excerpt from Historical Sketches of Plymouth, Luzerne Co;, Penna IN a conversation, some months since, with an Old Plymouth friend, he remarked - that all of the original settlers of the town had gone to their final resting-place, and that but a few of their children remained - and that these were'now far advanced in years; that some Of the Old family names had become extinct; and that some one ought to prepare and write out a few biographical sketches of the most noted and prominent pioneers of the town. Their descendants should be informed of their early trials, sacrifices, and exposures; and What a vast amount Of labor they performed, and What hardships they endured, to lay the foundation of all that wealth.
