Thank you for sharing this, I have been to Wilkes-barre and I feel connected to it. I am a descendent of a Joesph Steele, whose family ran the ferry across the Susquehanna in downtown Wilkes-barre. I live in Nebr. so this is a great to see! If you want another idea of a place to shoot ariel footage. I also have a ancestor (Capt. Samuel Ransom) who died in combat fighting the British at Forty-fort and has his name on a monument commemorating the Wyoming Valley Masacre aka the Battle of Wyoming. Thanks again.
My 4th great-grandfather, Issac Kinney Finch, escaped the Wyoming massacre, July 3rd, 1778. Issac's family died as did more than 360 others at the hands of the British and Iroquois.
My fifth great grand father John Jameson and his brother who had just settled there from Connecticut was shot and scalped there by Indians supporting British 1782, There was also internal warfare between Penns. and Connecticut settlers. In 1784 his widow Abigail (Alden) and her father in law and over 500 settlers where forced to leave by a captain Patterson of Penns. military. They were dispossessed of their property and forced into the wilderness not allowed to use the roads. They stayed in the woods for a month and then came back. They immediately jailed Abigail father in law. Abigail road on horseback 60 miles to Pennsylvania Supreme court and represented herself. As a result, Captain Patterson was locked up she was awarded a judgement against him and others; instead she settled out of court for the property and agreed to pledge allegiance to Pennsylvania which she did. Doing genealogy at home during Covid Crisis. I also ordered old book written by my great uncle Stewart Pearce called Annals of Luzerne County. What a beautiful place - thanks for sharing - never been there.
