pure fact, yesterday is like today, color some one and lay it on good. it, in the old days sold the pa gazzet, and pulps of the day. for your info FORT GRANDVILLE is not close to lewis town. it's in perry county right across the susguehanna river from fort hunter 15 miles by crow flyinand a stones throw from LOYSVILLE. simon girty sr., was killed by a drunken british army MAJOR, the following day he left the area. and the area that the girty's lived was more like between fort hunter and HECTON HALL, except fort hunter wasn't built yet. simon girty sr., heard of squatters rights that were to open on shermans creek, but after getting there he and others was run out because the indians were very upset, and this in reality was part of the beginning of the french and indian war period. simon girty sr., was buried at little indian fort a hop and a skip from fort hunter not far from the susguehanna trail.check out the right map it might make more sense to you. girty's notch is a joke, some one told a report in 1927, that it was the hideout of the outlaw simon girty in 1853, not really knowing his history, by that time the grand son was dead. there is also a cave there, but for some reason it moved from the top of the hill above the face profile, to the bottom besides the road, which was covered over till the road was wided and improved 35 years ago. anything to sell papers and books. tgv
