When Daniel Clark Sr., and family came by ox team from Connecticutt 1816, they found temporary shelter in the deserted Sartwell cabin until their log house was built about two miles north of Coudersport. His blacksmith shop became a commissioners' office and in his log cabin was taught the first school by a fugitive from justice, named Hurlburt. It is also recorded that Israel Merrick taught school in it in 1820. The children of Daniel Clark, of John Peet and of John Taggart, south of Coudersport, and children from Lymansville were the pupils.
In 1822 John Dingman and John Lyman contracted to clear the public square. In April, 1823, Isaac Lyman was granted $27 for clearing land at Coudersport and in June, $10 for clearing the town plot. Peter Knickerbocker continued the clearing in 1824.
In 1824 John L. Cartee purchased for $16 the square on which the jail is located. He leased from the Commissioners three of four squares, sowed them to wheat, and erected the frame for a house nearly on the site of the jail.
On May 10,1825, with his wife, two-year-old son, Lafayette, and step-daughter, Mary Ann Knight, aged 15, he returned and completed the house. This was the first tavern and was the stopping place of John Keating when on his annual visits. In 1825 he was accompanied by his daughter, Eulalia, and by his daughter-in-law. All traveled on horseback. The wheat which Mr. Cartee harvested was ground in a grist mill called the Red Mill, built in 1815 by Henry Dingman at the mouth of Dingman Run.
[MARY ANN KNIGHT]
In 1825 Timothy Ives Jr., was elected county treasurer. In May 1826, he, with his wife and daughter, Mary, seven months old, came from his home in Bingham Township on horseback by way of Andrews Settlement and boarded at the Cartee House while he erected a dwelling house on Second Street on the site of the First National Bank. He also built a small frame store on the southwest corner of East and Second Streets which faced East Street. His store goods were brought by wagon from New York City. Factory cloth was 50 cents per yard and other goods in proportion.
Michael Hinckle, who had married Nancy, only daughter of the pioneer, William Ayers, was the next to settle in Coudersport. He purchased what is now the Court House square, erected a dwelling house on the southeast corner of it and a log blacksmith shop north of the house where he worked for several years. It is said that he made the nails used in the construction of the first Court House.
On July 4, 1826, a child was born to this family, the first birth in the village, and the following January the mother's death was the first.
The first cemeteries were on the east side of Main Street, north of the river and on the east side of North Main Street, nearly opposite the Niles Hill Road. In 1827 Versel Dickinson

In 1827 Luther Strong came from Allegany County, New York, and purchased 117 acres of land extending from Seventlh Street northward. On a site east of the Anchor Toy factory he built a saw mill and a grist mill. He sold the property for $2500 to Julius Crittenden by deed on January 16, 1843.
Mr. Crittenden sold 87 acres of the original tract, together with the mill property, to Dr. 0. T. Ellison for $725, having dispoded of the remainder for village lots in 1873.
Henry Crittenden built a mill at the mouth of Dump Hollow which is often confused with the Julius Crittenden Mills.
Luther Strong was assisted in building his mills by Nathan Crary who made a clearing on the top of west hill and built a house but abandoned it when he discovered that the land had been allocated by John Keating for school purposes. The hill was called Crary Hill for many years.
In 1829 Dennis Hall built a large dwelling house on the northeast corner of East and Third Streets. It was the first house to have plastered rooms.
John Peet, who, in 1811 settled on the river road one half mile below Coudersport, was the first to act in the capacity of a preacher. He officiated at funerals and frequently read sermons or preached extemporaneously. In 1825 Father Conant, a Methodist missionary, living et what now is Westfield, Pa., came by way of Pine Creek and held services in the homes of the settlers.
In 1832 the R
