Notes for SAMUEL FARQUHAR:
As told by Franklin Smith Farquhar
Uncle Samuel had gone to Ohio, to visit his brother William who had migrated there from Maryland. Returning, Samuel came by the way of the present site of Oil City. He found oil flowing from the ground. Securing some in a bottle he brought it home as a curiosity to show to the neighbors; eventually to use some of it in an old oil-wick lamp. It proved a success as illuminating fluid.
Uncle Samuel was a giant of a man. He was over six feet tall, weighed 250 pounds and was strong as an ox. He could lift a 500-pound weight over his head with ease. On one occasion, while on a return trip for Philadelphia, (to which place they had gone to haul their produce) the outfit was held up by highwaymen. In the onslaught that followed, her Uncle Samuel picked up the leader of the gang and hurled him over the hillside. The victim struck a tree and broke his neck. The rest of the highwaymen fled.
