A defensive log house outpost, stockaded in 1777. Located on high ground on the south bank, opposite this spot, it commanded the Susquehanna. Abandoned in the Great Runaway of 1778.

This sign is no longer standing.

Maps this old were drawn largely by eye, so places on them can sit miles from where they really are. The pin is ours and marks the marker's location today.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
