mad been considered by the king Of
Sweden a decade prior to that, but
his war with the Germans and his
subsequent sudden death delayed and
nearly ended the project.
A part of the congregation of the
old Swedes' GLORIA Dell church,
which is now embraced in Philadel-
pSia, under the leadership of Andrew
Rudman. made an exploration of the
Schuylkill in 1901 for the purpose OF
establishing an inland trading post
with the Indians. They found suit
able land several miles north Of the
Manatawney creek. where William
Penn, the new proprietor Of Pennsyl-
vania, granted them 10000 acres.
The settlement was named Moriat-
ton and the Swedes lived in harmony
with the Indians and thrived there
long before the advent into the region
of the English and German settlers.
Their descendants are found In the
locality to this day. Some Of them.
whose names are still perpetuated,
were Andrew Bankson, Benjamin Bur-
den, Peter Boon, Benjamin Boon, JUS
tin Justason. Mounce Jastice. John
Cock, Peter Cock. Otto Ernest Cock.
Jacob Culin. Mathis Huston. Morton
Murtis. Peter Yocum and Mounce
Jones.
The old house above mentioned
was built by Mounce Jones. who had
one of the largest tracts under Gull
tivation. It stands on the east bank
Of the Schuylkill. hidden on all sides
by large trees. A road connecting
the two highways on either side of the
river now passes directly in front Of

Is easily decipherable. The building
is now used as the headquarters Of a
boat club.
