first, a note of thanks to the folks who responded with input
on the Gheens......... for those interested, I assembled a
little compendium from material that came my way..

I never ran into the Gheen name in Sugar Valley (except for Susanna), but
there
were a number of Gheens in Nippenose Valley - Oval, Oriole, Bastress, etc
areas.
They were related to the name "Welshans" which is both a Nippenose and Sugar
Valley surname (also related to the famous Peter Pence/Pentz and the
Salladas).
Wayne Welshans, an historian for the Jersey Shore area gave me copies of his
research which included Nippenose Gheens, but after a quick look, I found no
Susanna Gheen 1830-1981. Lots of Gheens (perhaps 35-38 or more) are buried
in
Nippenose Valley Cemeteries. Unfortunately, none of Wayne Welshans books are
indexed so it requires searching page by page.

I have your Susanna Gheen in my database as the wife of Adam Miller. She's
buried in the Tylersville Cemetery. Susanna & Adam had 6 children. After she
died he married Mary Heltman. Susanna's parents were Thomas Gheen and Hannah
Pentz.

I have some GHEEN information and maybe you are related.

Adam MILLER b 27 Jan 1829 d 28 Jul 1896 m Susannah GHEEN b 2 Aug 1830 d 25
Sep 1881.

I suspect this is the line Gheen Adam Miller comes from.

They had 6 children.

One was:
Eliza Jane MILLER b abt 1853 d 1921 m Emanuel BIERLY b 8 Nov 1851 d 17 Oct
1940.

Another one was:
Jesse Gheen MILLER b 30 May 1855 d 26 Mar 1915 m Martha Adeline MILLER b 25
Sep 1859 d 3 Apr 1924.

They had 11 children.

I can send more information if you are interested.

Historical View of Clinton County, Pennsylvania by "D. S. Maynard"
CHAPTER XV
Crawford Township
Previous to the formation of Clinton county what is now Crawford township
was included in Limestone township, Lycoming county, after which it was
comprised in Wayne township till it was separately organized in 1841. as it
is now bounded, about one third of Nippenose Valley lies within its limits,
the other portion being in Lycoming county
The entire Nippenose Valley appears to be underlaid with limestone, as
mentioned by Meginness. What is pronounced by competent judges to be a fine
quality of black marble, has been found in large quantities on the farm of
Daniel Shadle. Indications of coal exist in various places along the base of
the mountain which surrounds the valley.
Very few authentic records relating to the early history of this township
are obtainable; but it is well known that among the first settlers were a
number of individuals who figured conspicuously as great Indian hunters. One
of them, Peter Pence, settled upon the farm now owned by Thomas Gheen, who
is a grand son of Pence. Of this once noted character Meginness says:
There was another remarkable hunter and Indian killer in this valley, named
Peter Pence, of whom many wonderful stories are related. He is described by
those who remember him as being a savage looking customer, and always went
armed with his rifle, tomahawk, and knife, years after peace was made.
[Peter Pence WAS AN ANCESTOR OF SUSANNA GHEEN, MOTHER OF George Dallas
Miller, George d. 1944 at Ebensburg PA.]
The accounts of his adventures with the Indians being in such a vague and
unsatisfactory form, I have concluded to omit them altogether rather than
detail them incorrectly. I much regret this, since it made some effort to
get a correct sketch of them. It is said that an account of his life was
published some thirty years ago, and is remembered by some, but the most
careful research has failed to develop it.
Nathan Gheen, who came from Chester county, was also one of the early
settlers. He occupied a farm now owned by Mr. Leonard, of Williamsport.
About the year 1815, Charles McElhaney settled on lands now owned by Daniel
Shadle; Wm. Shaw located on the tract now owned by George and Jesse Gheen.
The farm on which George Gheen lives was first settled by a man named
Fullerton. The Wm. McKeague farm was settled by John Stine, and Christian
Showers first occupied the land now owned by Jesse Showers, his son. Michael
Shadle came from Dauphin, at quite an early day and settled on land now
owned by his son, Daniel Shadle. At one time Michael Shadle was collector
for the township of Wayne, previous to the organization of Crawford, and for
his services in traveling over the mountains and through the valleys to
gather the taxes, his commission amounted to about seven dollars at the end
of the year, having worn out ten dollars' worth of shoe-leather, as he
claimed, in the discharge of his official duties.
