This information about Hiram's father was shared on Ancestry.com from Mark A Kennelly April 29, 2010
Francis Scott was born on the 27th day of October in 1799 in Pennsylvania, Somerset County, Pennsylvania in the US of A. He passed away due to palsy on the 8th day of December in 1870 in Millsboro, Washington County, Pennsylvania in the US of A. He married Catherine Grooms in the year 1824 in Washington County, Pennsylvania in the US of A. The were the parents of 12 children, 4 girls and 8 boys. (These are listed in the Smith Family Tree.) The 1850 US Federal Census lists him as a ship carpenter.
FAIRVIEW TOWNSHIP was also one of the original townships 'in this county,' and its first settlement seems to be, so far as can be ascertained, that of Francis Scott in 1797. But the real activity towards the settlement of this section arose from the organization and activities of the Harrisburg and Presque Isle Company, organized at Harrisburg July 25th, 1796, by ten men putting up 200 pounds each (about $1,000) to form capital to be used in exploiting lands at and near Erie. Three of these men were Thomas Forster, Captain Richard Swan, and William Kelso, who were natives of Paxtang, and may have been some of those famous "Paxtan Boys" who so mistakenly attacked a peaceful community of Indians. This company bought a considerable amount of lots and tracts of the Carlisle sale August 3rd and 4th in 1796, including a large section in Fairview Township. Colonel Forster, for the company, built the first grist mill in the county in 1798, and the second sawmill in 1797, at the mouth of Walnut Creek, later called Manchester. Captain Swan brought his family here in 1802 and settled near the lake at Walnut Creek, where he rented and operated the company's mills, and a log tavern built by the company also near the mills, of peeled hemlock logs. Colonel Forster and Captain Swan, when approching the lake, came out on the high bluff and first beheld a clear view of the expanse of blue water, when the former is said to have exclaimed, "This is the fairest view I have seen yet", and the place was named forthwith. Here in the old log tavern was held the first church services in the western part of the county, resulting in the erection about 1810 of the first church building west of Erie in this entire section.
