Early History

The following are selected excerpts from the book Genealogical Gleanings of Siggins, and other Pennsylvania Families A Volume of History, Biography and Colonial, Revolutionary, Civil and Other War Records Including Names of Many Other Warren County Pioneers, compiled by Emma Siggins White, assisted by Martha Humphreys Maltby, excerpts pages 15 - 16; published by Tiernan-Dart Printing Co., 1918. To aid in finding your ancestor, names are in bold.

"Warren Borough was laid out by General William Irvine and Andrew Ellicott about 1795 and incorporated April 3, 1882. Stephen Gilson, son of Gideon, was the first white child born in the town. Another of the first settlers was David Jackson, a native of Connecticut, but he came from Ithaca, N.Y., to this place in 1797 and settled on what was later known as the Wetmore Farm; he came by way of Buffalo and Erie to Waterford and thence by canoe down French Creek to the Allegheny River. He built the first frame house in the town. Here he kept an Inn for a number of years.

Archibald Tanner erected a brick block on this same lot in 1849-50. In 1800 Jackson completed one of the first saw mills in the county, from which the first raft of pine timber was floated down the Allegheny River and safely landed at Pittsburgh between the years 1799 and 1801. It contained about thirty thousand feet of lumber and was guided by sitting-poles instead of oars. The saw mill built by the Meads on the Brokenstraw was erected about the same time and was thought by some of the old settlers to take precedence of the Jackson mill. David Jackson died June 20, 1830; his children were Daniel, Rachel, David, Jr., Ethan Ebenezer and Sylvia.

John King another early settler, married Betsy, daughter of John Gilson, Sr., in 1811. She died in 1873. Their children were J. born 1812; George W.; Rufus P., Mrs. Harmon of Warren; J.E. King, M.D. of Buffalo; Mrs. Evelyn Mead (wife of John Mead of Youngsville) who later married Thomas W. Jackson--their sons were John A., Byron J., Gilson A., and a daughter Sarah who married Mr. Davis; Mrs. Betsy Hunter and Mrs. Malvina Cowan of Warren.

John King served as County Treasurer in 1827-28. Rufus P. King filled the same office 1843-47 and also served as Associate Judge of Warren County.

George W. Fenton, father of Hon. Reuben E. Fenton, taught the first school in a room of Daniel Jackson's house. He married Elsey Owen of Carroll, a niece of John King's wife.

Thomas Beaty of Beaver County, was another of the substantial pioneer farmers of Western Pennsylvania who became one of the best of patriotic citizens. he tilled the soil and taught habits of frugality and industry to his children. When the call came for troops in 1812, he offered his services and was stationed with the Penna. troops at Fort Erie.

David, one of his fourteen children, was born in Beaver County in 1811. He was also a farmer, by industry and frugality he accumulated considerable property in Forest and Warren Counties. He engaged in the lumber business and later when oil was discovered in Warren County, he began operations in that industry. He made his home in Warren where his two sons also lived. The older O.W. Beaty became a partner of his father in the oil business; and from 1889 until the time of his death, he served as Vice President of the Warren Savings Bank."
