MG-128 TREZIMLNY FAMILY PAPERS, 1758-1900 and n.d. 15 CUBIC FEET IN 22 BOXES and 13 OVERSIZED FOLDERS Charles Treziyulny (also spelled Trcziyulny) (1757-1858) emigrated from Poland in 1791 to become an early settler of Philipsburg, Centre County. He was Clearfield County's Surveyor, an engineer, one of the first canal commissioners of Pennsylvania (in 1824) and an advocate of river improvement in preference to canals. He was elected justice of the peace in 1805 and served as post master of Centre County from 1832-1841. With help from a Mr. Behe he laid out Mo-Shan-Non town and, later, Philipsburg in 1794. In 1814 he was one of three commissioners appointed to divide ~ush Township into Rush and Bald Eagle Townships. With his wife Catherine (1778-1858) he had three sons: Henry P., who is discussed in the next paragraph; Hyacinth B., (?-1862) who was street commissioner of Bellefonte and superintendent of the water-works when he died; and Joseph F.P. "Frank", who died at the Battle of Fredericksburg on 12/13/1862. Henry P. (1800-1878) was appointed Deputy Surveyor of Centre County from 1854-1856, 1863-1866 and 1866-1868. He was also a justice of the peace from 1864-1868 and 1874-1877. In February 1859 he was appointed with two other commissioners to run a boundary line between Union and Centre Counties. In 1869-1870 he surveyed urns side and part of Snow Shoe Townships with other surveyors. In November 1857 he was appointed with two others to view Curtin Township so it could be incorporated. In January 1849 ne and two other were appointed to view and report on the township organizarrion of ~oggs township.* Both Charles and Henry P. Treziyulny surveyed many counties and townships of central Pennsylvania, most of which became, or at one time were, within the ever changing boundary lines of Centre County. Their own correspondence, field notes and surveys and collected copies of surveys and maps created by other surveyors, are an excellent source of information on early central Pennsylvania, particularly Centre count:^. *The above information comes from the Historv of Centre and Clinton Counties, Pennsvlvania by John Blair Linn, 1883. Arrangement: The Treziyulnv Familv Pa~ersare organized into Charles S. Treziyulnv; Henw P. Trezivulnv; Henw P. Trezivulnv-Familv; Charles S. or Henry P. Trezivulnv (papers which probably belonged to both and have no identifying signatures on them); and, lastly, Trezivulnv Surveys. Zxcept for the Surveys all the other subgroups are organized alphabetically by type of record, then chronologically within each folder with the undated (n.d.) papers filed at the rear of the appropriat? folder. The ~rezivulnvSurvevs are organized into several subgroups: by Countv and ~ownshi~Names, Multiple Countv Names, No COuntv or Townshin Names, River Views, Road Views, Other Maps, Miscellaneous Countv Survevs and Blank Survevs . Countv and Township Survevs are filed alphabetically by county, then alphabetically by township within each county, then alphabetically by surnames of property owners, then by surveys of multiple plots with names, then those with no names. Multiple Countv Names Survevs are also filed alphabetically by counties and townships names, ex. Center and Mifflin Counties, Bald Eagle Township. ~ost of the surveys are of multiple plots so they are not further sub-divided and filed by surnames. No Countv or Township Names Survevs are filed alphabetically by the names of the township, river, mountain, or furnace noted on the survey. Most of the surveys are of multiple plots so they are not further sub- divided and filed by surnames. River Views and Road Views are filed alphabetically by name of the river, road or location. Please note that unlike the other surveys these are not land by roads or rivers, but the actual roads and rivers' courses themselves. Other Maps, that were probably used for reference, are also filed alphabetically by name of the map. Most of these are printed and not of Pennsylvania. The Miscellaneous Countv Survevs include both whole surveys and fragments of surveys without any identifying feature or name. Lastly, there are several Blank Survevs which were drawn but not filled in. There are no names or features noted on these surveys. Oversized Survevs. Some surveys are quite large and were originally stored rolled up. They are filed in oversized folders and are listed at the end of the collection's folder listing. They are organized in the same way as the smaller surveys by Countv and/or Township Names, Multiple Countv Names, No Countv and/or Township Names, Road Views, (there are no oversized River Views), other-M~DS,and Miscellaneous Countv Survevs. There is also an I .example of a sheet of Blank PaDer that was found in the collection. Please note that loose papers found in volumes are separated from the volumes by acid-free paper to prevent staining and then both are filed together in a sheet of acid-free paper. Related papers originally folded together were filed in a sheet of acid-free paper. Volumes with soft and/or fragile covers were also filed in a sheet of acid-free paper. In both cases, dates are written on the paper. Volumes with hard, sturdy covers have acid-free strips of paper sticking out of them, with the appropriate dates so noted. I Some folders were added late in processing when small surveys were found mixed in with unrelated oversized surveys. They were added as, for example 87A and 87B after 87, to show their proper spot in the folder listing without wasting a lot of time renumbering all the folders in the survey section. Lastly, records without identifiable dates as to when they were originally written or copied are filed as n.d., meaning no date or undated. They are filed in the rear of the appropriate folder or section. Special Note: The processing of this collection could not have been completed without the gracious and knowledgeable assistance of Mr. Ed Heary. Mr. Heary was a surveyor for over 40 years in Centre County and had worked extensively with the Treziyulny Papers, particularly the surveys. From his experience, he was able to quickly and easily identify the location of over two cubic feet unidentifiable surveys. The county and/or township names were then written on the survey in pencil so there would be no question in the future as to where they should be filed. He found most of the remaining Miscellaneous Surveys to be drafts, worksheets, or copies of surveys, of which better and more usable surveys existed in the oversize folders. Thank you Mr. Heary!!
