I am a curator at Landis Valley Museum, Lancaster, Pa. We and the State Archives collectively have a large amount of family records from the Witmer family of Paradise, Lancaster County. Records indicate a number of travels that members of the family made to and through Clearfield County in the early 19th century. We have recently been offered and are considering to acquire a group of newspapers from 1821 and 1822 that David and son, A. K. Witmer, published in their hometown of Paradise. The paper advertises town lots for sale in Clearfield. I read on your webpage the donations of Abraham Witmer. Do you have other general knowledge of the relative importance of the Witmers in laying out Clearfield? Please email: bbomberger@pa.gov
