Extract from "History of Butler County Pennsylvania, 1895" Adams Township, Chapter 32:
The first settler of this township was James Glover, born in New Jersey, in 1753, a soldier of the Revolution, and a pioneer of Pittsburg. During his hunting expeditions, he found, in what is now Adams township, a deer lick, and near it, in 1792, he built a hunter's cabin. In 1795 he made a clearing, and the following year claimed a tract of 400 acres round it. In 1796 he abandoned the cabin to take possession of a log-house, which he had erected that year, and there resided until his death, in 1844. Prior to the building of the log house, James Irvine, who came from Ireland in 1770, to Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, and thence to Butler county, erected a large house of round logs, in the center of his claim of one hundred acres, where he died in 1830. He was one of the pioneer teachers of the county. About that time, William McCandless, the tailor; William McCandless, the distiller, and Robert McCandless appeared upon the scene. Adam Johnson, who died at the age of 103 years, in 1827, came about 1796, accompanied by his son, also named Adam, with Joshua and George Stoolfire, Moses Meeker, who did not stay, Timothy Ward, a teacher, who moved to Ohio, and David Spear.
