  Research Notes:

The Scotch-Irish people who came to Pennsylvania on the invitation of the first Proprietary first entered this region in 1715, and pushing on past the Mennonite and Huguenot settlements. located themselves on Chikis Creek, along which stream they soon after spread themselves for a distance of eight or nine miles from its mouth. A few years later a cordon of settlements of these people (who were all Presbyterians) had been made and extended along Octorara Creek from Sadsbury to the Susquehanna, and thence along the river to the Conestoga. These people had been encouraged by the authorities to settle near the disputed boundary line between Maryland and Pennsylvania, because it was believed they would be more disposed and better able to defend the settlements against the Catholic Marylanders than would either the Huguenots, the Friends, or the Mennonites.
