PITMIAN. The first settlement in Lycoming County was made about the year 1760 on what was known as the Muncy Manor. Sev- eral claims were made to this land by different individuals but as the claims had been taken up before the opening of the land office, none of them was recognized by the Penns. Among these claimants was Samuel Wallis, who afterwards became the larg- est landowner in the county. Wallis brought suit for the lands, but it was decided against him and the title confirmed in Sam- uel Harris, son of John Harris, after whom the city of Harris- burg was named. A house was built on this land and this was undoubtedly the first dwelling erected in the West Branch Valley west of the Muncy Hills. Samuel Wallis, who laid claim to the property, was a promi- nent man in his day and afterwards purchased a tract of land lying a short distance above the hamlet of Halls where he built a pretentious mansion in 1769 which is still standing and is the oldest house in Lycoming County. Subsequently Wallis became possessed of large tracts of land extending along the river bot- tom from Muncy to Jersey Shore. 79 80 HISTORY OF LYCOMING COUNTY Wallis was a slaveholder, as were many of the wealthier men of that day, and also had in his employ a number of re- demptioners.
