Native Americans of the Ohio River Valley refused to accept claims of the fledgling nation and militantly resisted white settlements in their homelands. Constant border strife turned into open war in the spring of 1791.

To carry out the taxation program, every structure, lot and tract in the country had to be accounted for in tax listings, in which each was described and given an assessment value. The result was a housing inventory so complete that it has not been surpassed to this day. This book is a compilation of these tax lists for the area of present-day Washington County, Pennsylvania, and is divided into 22 townships. Information in the tax lists includes the owner and the occupant, the source reference, the type and acreage of property (house or tract, for example), and the size and description of the structures listed, including number of stories, number of windows, type of construction, etc. Sometimes information appears on adjacent property owners, enabling reconstruction of a neighborhood. Additionally, the function and condition of structures is sometimes given. An appendix includes the introduction to the microfilm edition of the Pennsylvania tax lists, a circular of the Secretary of the Treasury, and sample pages from the Washington County tax forms. The everyname index includes about 3,500 entries. \"Apart from Pennsylvania, only Massachusetts and Maryland records are extant in reasonably complete form, most of the records for other states having disappeared.

During the early colonial period, this region of the Upper Monongahela, like that of Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh) slightly to the north and what would become Morgantown, West Virginia to the south, was inhabited by the indigenous peoples; by French missionaries, trappers, and traders; and eventually by a number of intrepid British \"trans-Allegheny pioneers.\" After 1750, however, the Tenmile Country-like the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia- became a desired place of settlement or stopover point for the huge migration of Scotch-Irish, German, and to a lesser extent, British, colonists who extended American settlement beyond the Alleghenies. Migration to the Monongahela took place over three main routes: along the National Pike via Winchester, Virginia; through the Shenandoah Valley to the head of the Cheat River and from there to the Monongahela; and along the Lincoln Highway to Ligonier, Pennsylvania and thence along Jacob's Creek to the Monongahela. From the time of the French and Indian War to the end of the 18th century, the tributaries of the Tenmile Creek would be inundated by pioneers-many of them German or Scotch Irish, some of them the spillovers from the great migration into Kentucky, and still other travellers and immigrants who passed through Baltimore en route to one of the great migration trails.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Tenmile Country and Its Pioneer Families\u003c\/i\u003e was originally published as a series of newspaper articles by Mr. Leckey before being consolidated as a book in 1950 and then reprinted with an every-name index under the auspices of the Greene County Historical Society in 1977. The work commences with an historical overview of settlement in the Tenmile Country, and it concludes with the aforementioned index of some 30,000 entries. In between, the genealogist of southwestern Pennsylvania can savor 500 or more family histories, of varying lengths, which delineate the lineages of the many families who migrated into this area. The genealogies, which are arranged according to place of settlement, are periodically embellished with rosters of one sort or another, maps, facsimiles, and illustrations. Overall, the genealogical sketches cover or touch on more than 2,000 main families who settled in the Upper Monongahela during the final third of the eighteenth or first quarter of the nineteenth century.
