"...was a patriot of the Revolutionary War. He was a private in the Connecticut Militia. He came to the wilderness of Pennsylvania in 1800, from Bristol, Connecticut. This was after the war, when Yankee settlers continued to come to the Wyoming Valley and on up the Susquehanna. LEVI FRISBIE and his brother Abel in 1777 were accused of sympathy with the British and were imprisoned. LEVI was later exonerated and released. The 1926 Genealogy, quoting Connecticut Men in the Revolution, p. 50, credits LEVI with service in the Connecticut troops, 2nd regiment, Col. Joseph Spencer, 7th company, Capt. Abel Pettibone, siege of Boston, May 5 to December 10, 1775, but this company was raised in Simsbury, Connecticut. The service probably relates to another Levi Frisbie, and it is doubtful that LEVI served at all in the war. Nevertheless he has been credited with service in DAR Patriot Index, and his grave in Darling Cemetery, Orwell Hill, Pennsylvania has been marked by the local DAR chapter. The 1926 Genealogy has LEVI's date of death as October 5, 1842, but his grave marker shows the year as 1841...
... was descended form the old Puritan stock of Connecticut, and was an acknowledged leader in all enterprises tending to the advancement or improvement of this country. Coming as he did, in the February 1800, to the wilderness of Pennsylvania, in the woods of Bradford County that contained only primitive log cabins. LEVI packed his possessions onto an ox sled and with his family moved here. It is said he crossed the rivers on the ice. In 1800 the area about Orwell was a vast forest. There were no roads, only blazed trees to mark a path. The nearest store was at Tioga Point, Pennsylvania where the Susquehanna and Tioga rivers come together or Wyalusing, Pennsylvania. Levi Frisbie had to fell trees to build his log cabin. Clearing the ground was a hard task. The first winter was a severe one, but the Frisbies were tough stock and they survived and prospered. LEVI and his sons carved farms out of the forest wilderness. Orwell township was created in 1801...
...devoted his life to the advancement of the county, its churches and schools. He was the brave and fearless friend of the poor and the oppressed; in his private life, sociable and eminently hospitable, his family loved and reverenced him as more than a father, and to the shelter of his broad bosom his grandchildren always fled as a haven of refuge. Although a member of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, he identified himself with the Presbyterian Church as soon as the society was formed on Orwell Hill, Pennsylvania. The history of Orwell Hill church notes that on October 10, 1803 LEVI and his wife PHOEBE were amongst the ten persons who met at the house of Lebbeus Roberts to form the church. This church is still flourishing and many Frisbies were active in its preservation...
...allowed no niceties as to any proscribed creed to interfere with his labors to better the condition of his fellow-men. The seed sown by such earnest labors, nearly a century ago, is still yielding fruit in abundance; he was never known to swear, use intoxicating liquors of any kind, excepting cider, which he drank at meals in lieu of tea or coffee, which he never used, or tobacco; his word was implicitly received, and in the arbitrament of his neighbors he never failed to give satisfaction. His sons were worthy of such a father, and among the many eminent and good men of this county none stood higher than they, all living earnest workers in the Presbyterian Church, three being elders in the same for years. All the sons were liberal to the church and schools; these noble sons of an illustrious sire have been gathered to their fathers, leaving behind a spotless page in the history of Bradford County...."
