 and Company, 1882, p831, Wharton Township, Fayette County, Penna
  About 1800 John Slack was on the Braddock road and in 1810 Benjamin
 Elliott from Greene County bought out David Flaugh, who lived near
 Brown's Church. He raised a family of four daughters and two sons:
 Solomon Elliott, who emigrated; and S D Elliott, the present owner of his
 farm. He built a saw mill and the flouring mill at Elliottsvile in 1817
 and 1818. Benjamin Elliott was born in 1781 and died in 1863.
 In 1814 John Tuttle came from German township to Wharton where his son, Eli Tuttle, now lives. Squire Benjamin Price and James Snyder came about
 1815. After the pike was built James McCartney from Maryland lived in a log house just back of the Presbyterian Church at Farmington. He married John Marker's widow, whose daughter, Sarah Marker, married Charles Rush. James McCartney's son, Nicholas McCartney was well known as a tavern keeper, a good talker and a leading Democrat. His daughter, Mary Ann McCartney married Squire Burke; another daughter was Mrs Ellen Brown; and Diana McCartney, another daughter, married Atwell Holland, who was killed by a negro. She is now Mrs Thomas, living in Greene County.
 Col John McCullough came shortly after McCartney. His sons, Nicholas McCullough and James McCullough, are well known along the road. Squire James Bryant, or as some call him, Bryan, also Sebastial Rush, John Rush, Charles Rush and Levi Rush Jr, sons of Levi Rush of Henry Clay township,
 came and located in Wharton. John Rush, Charles rush, Samuel Rush and Sebastian Rush, called "Boss" Rush, were on the road as tavernkeepers. Charles Rush was on the pike at Searights in 1856.
