Jacob Piatt and his son Jacob were involved in a number of
interesting encounters with those trying to keep intact the delicate
balance of peace with the Indians. Father and son were Indian traders,
and lived near them, even when there was a serious threat of trouble from
red or white man alike ---In "HUGUENOTS IN AMERICA; MEMORIALS OF THE HUGUENOTS, WITH SPECIAL
REFERENCE TO THEIR EMIGRATION TO PENNSYLVANIA," by Rev. A. Stapleton, AM,
MS, 1969 (p. 129) there is a statement, "Jacob Piatt, evidently a second
son of the immigrant, appears in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, as an
Indian trader at an early day. Jacob Piatt, Jr, was a pioneer on the
frontiers, and was dispossessed of his lands in Path Valley as an
intruder in 1750."Again, in "HISTORY OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY AND ADAMS COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA", 1886 (p. 18) there is an account of the 1750 ejection from
Path Valley of Jacob Pyeatt, Jacob Pyeatt, Jr., James Blair, and others.
There are similar accounts in the minutes of the Provisional Council,
found in the Colonial Records of Pennsylvania, Vols. 4 & 5:"In the early development of Pennsylvania when there was much land
available for settlement and much danger to be apprehended from
trespassing upon the lands of the Red man which had not yet been
bargained for, laws were enacted prohibiting the people from going into
this country beyond the Kittochtinny Mountains for the purpose of
settlement. These laws were evoked from the fear that such actions would
precipitate serious trouble, if not war, with the Indians; or as the
prohibition said, 'A breach might ensue between the Six Nations of
Indians and this Province.' And yet, as more and more people came into
the eastern parts of the Province, the stories circulated of the wondrous
wealth of fine lands there were just over the mountains, we cannot wonder
that the adventurous spirit of the times incited some of the more
adventurous settlers to flout the law — even as they do in this
enlightened age — where they saw a chance of adventure and profit.One Richard Peters, having been directed by Governor Hamilton to give
information to the magistrates against all who had presumed to violate
the law, wrote the governor by letter dated July 2, 1750, as follows:'On Wednesday, the 30th of May, the magistrates and company, being
detained two days by rain, proceeded over the Kittochtinny Mountains and
entered in the Tuscarora Path, or Path Valley through which the road to
Alleghany lies. Many settlements were formed in this valley and all the
people were sent for, and the following persons appeared, viz: Abraham
Slack, James Blair, Moses Moore, Arthur Dunlap, Alexander McCartie, Felix
Doyle, Andrew Dunlap, Robert Wilson, JACOB PYATT, JACOB PYATT, JR.,
William Ramage, Reynold Alexander, Samuel Patterson, Robert Baker, John
Armstrong and John Potts who were all convicted by their own confession
to the magistrates, of the like trespasses with those at Sherman’s Creek
and were bound in the like recognizances to appear at court, and bonds to
the proprietors, to remove with all their families, servants, cattle, and
effects and all having voluntarily given possession of their houses to
me, some ordinary log houses, to the number of eleven, were burnt to the
ground; the trespassers, most of them cheerfully, and a very few of them
with reluctance, carrying out all their goods. Some had deserted before,
and lay waste.'The next we learn about The Valley is when, in 1767, 'verbal applications
in behalf of a few in Path Valley' were made to Presbytery. Rev. Robert
Cooper was directed to preach to that people a Sabbath 'at discretion'
