General Notes: Husband - Joseph Lytle

Lytle's Ferry, in Upper Paxtang Twp, Dauphin Co, PA

Marietta was once known as "Anderson's Ferry," and was a point of great importance until the bridge constructed at Columbia diverted the trade across the river and reduced the ferry. It may be that Joseph Lytle had been interested in the river transit business, and desiring a new field of labor he decided upon a location northward.
In any event, the family removed from Marietta to the locality on the Susquehanna river, afterwards known as "Lytle's Ferry." Here Joseph Lytle arrived with his family in the autumn of 1779, just a month after the Ayres, had arrived at Peter's mountain.
Their property was obtained through warrants originally issued to John Kroker (1766), Samuel Hunter (1767) and Joseph Lytle (7th Nov., 1773), and comprised a fraction over two hundred acres. Geographically, it was
situated about four miles north of Halifax, and about two miles south of Millersburg, in what is now Halifax township, and a half mile below Berry's mountain. The tract was surveyed December 3d, 1773. by Bertram Galbraith, and named in his draft "Fairview."
