"As pioneers pushed westward, new roads were cut through the landscape, so that by the late 1720s, homesteaders were looking to cross the Susquehanna and occupy terriotry on the western side of the river. The family of the Reverend James Anderson (1678-1740) in Donegal began ferrying people across the waters, and the steady stream of pioneers eager to move west set up the demand for a public road."
