"Making A Neighborhood." David D. Banta, Republican Print, 1887.
"But let us linger a little in the dead past. Shortly before the war for Independence a swarm from the Dutch hive in and round about Hackensack, in New Jersey migrated and for a season, lodged at a place they called Conawago, in Adams county, Pennsylvania, close by Gettysburg, a place made famous by one of the best fought battles of the late war. There they built a church, a school house, and made farms. After the close of the war many of them once more setting their faces to the Western sun, ultimately took up their abode in Kentucky, most of them at the first in Mercer county. It is doubtless true the original purpose when they left New Jersey was to cross the mountains sooner or later, and it is certain this was accomplished as soon as it became apparent that the Kentucky pioneers by their numbers, gave promise of protection from the Indians. Doubtless there was more than one migration into Kentucky from Conawago, but all were connected by ties of nationality, by a common faith and most of them were akin. Of these old Conawago families that moved to Kentucky the following are familiar as household words to all of us: BREWERS, BRUNERS, BANTAS, BICES, BERGENS, CARNINES, COVERTS, DEMAREES, DEMOTTS, LAGRANGES, LISTS, LUYSTERS, MONFORTS, SHUCKS, SMOCKS, VANNUYSES, VANARSDALLS, VANDIVERS, VORISES. True to their traditions these descendants of the Knickerbockers founded churches, built school houses, opened farms, made tan yards, constructed mills, in a word, practiced all sorts of handicraft, and thus did their full share towards developing their country."
