 | | A historical waterway, French Creek was named in 1753 by young George Washington as he journeyed to Fort LeBoeuf (now Waterford, Erie County, PA) to warn the French that they were on British territory. |
 | | Birdsell stayed in French Creek, and continued working the farm his father had obtained from the Holland Land Co., and in the mid 1800’s he wrote the “early history of French Creek” as he recalled from his memory, and the stories and tales told by his father and mother. |
 | | The boys that grew up in French Creek and Mina, were farm boys, some probably worked in saw mills or grist mills, but they never had the exposure to the populations of cities that exposure to virus and disease helps a body build immunities too
