General Notes: Wife - Lucy Ann Lillibridge


Lucy Lillibridge Hull, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, furnished the following: Samuel Stanton, of Mt. Pleasant, Wayne County, a surveyor and a commissioner of the East and West Road, under commission from the State, and the first county commissioner of the newly-made county of McKean, bought about a thousand acres where the town of Port Allegany (Canoe Place-Kingsville-Liberty) now stands, from the Allegheny River on the west two miles east up what is called Lillibridge Creek, with the expectation of making this the county seat. He again started to settle and make a home in the wilderness, known only to the Indians, and but a dim trail through the mountain pass of the Alleghanies, over which the Pennsylvania Railroad now makes its way from Philadelphia to Buffalo. His family now consisted of eight children: Thomas, Abel, Samuel and Daniel, Polly, Anna, Hannah and Rebeckah, and his wife, Martha Morse Stanton, born at Preston, Connecticut, and buried in the old Port Allegany Cemetery, May 8, 1830. Samuel Stanton died at Bellefonte, returning from Philadelphia to his family, left at an outpost on the West Branch of the Susquehanna. Under the direction of his son-in-law, Lodowick Lillibridge, the family proceeded on its way to Emporium and up the Sinnamahoning Portage to the mountain pass and down the Alleghany Portage to the Stanton tract on the Allegheny River, where a log house was erected and the pioneers began the settlement of a new location.
