About Capt. Henry Pawling
A Patriot of the American Revolution for PENNSYLVANIA. DAR Ancestor # A086673
Henry Pawling (Pauling), a wealthy gentleman of Providence, Montgomery county, Pa., in 1775 purchased of Job Chillaway, a prominent Indian, 625 acres of land (Pennsylvania title), covering the site of the Mission village at Wyalusing. Mr. Pawling, who was a supporter of the patriot cause, the next year (1776) sent his three sons, Benjamin, Jesse and William, single young men, to Wyalusing to manage the affairs of the plantation. "Being generous of their means, fond of the hunt and the rough sports of the times, the Pawlings soon became the leading spirits in the community, and lived on terms of great friendship with their neighbors until the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, when their ardent zeal for their Pennsylvania title led them to join the Loyalists and identify themselves with the interests of the mother government." In 1777 the Pawling Brothers joined Col. John Butler and were commissioned officers in his rangers. "They were all personally down against the settlement at Wyoming with the savages and exercised great severities upon the prisoners." The Pawlings retired to Canada with the British and Indians. Henry Pawling in his will bequeathed a portion of the Chillaway purchase to his daughter, Catherine, the wife of Joseph Stalford. The Stalford family has since been in possession of these lands.
