Note 270 — Chapter XLIV · THE INDIANS AND THE WHITES COMPARED.
Reading edition
[The valley of the Conecocheague, which stream drains Franklin County, Pennsylvania, was explored and settled about 1730 by Scotch-Irish pioneers, among whom were three brothers of the name of Chambers. The site of Chambersburg was built on by Joseph Chambers. The Conecocheague settlement suffered much from the Indians after Braddock’s defeat in 1755.]
