Note:
History of Butler Co. 1895
The history of the site before the laying out of the town is as follows:
James HEMPHILL, a surveyor, and in after years known far and wide as a fearless hunter, came in 1794, in company with Rudolph BARNHART, from Westmoreland county to Butler county in search of homes. After visiting the vicinity of Butler and failing to find suitable locations, they took their way into what is now Donegal township. Here HEMPHILL finally selected a tract of 439 acres of land, on which the village of Millerstown was afterwards laid out. BARNHART selected a tract near the site of Karns City, now known as the KINKAID farm, on which he made a small clearing. In the fall they both went back to Westmoreland county for the winter. In the spring of 1795 they again returned to Butler county, accompanied by Jacob BARNHART, Sr., Jacob BARNHART, Jr., and Adam and John HEMPHILL, brothers of James HEMPHILL. Rudolph BARNHART then abandoned his first tract and settled on one directly northwest of the James HEMPHILL tract, located the year before. John HEMPHILL settled north and Adam HEMPHILL west of the James HEMPHILL location. The other settlers in the immediate neighborhood were Jacob BARNHART, Jr., who settled west of Rudolph BARNHART, John FORQUER, who settled south of James HEMPHILL, the DUGANs, south and west of Adam [p.513]
HEMPHILL, and Jacob BARNHART, Sr., some three miles east of the HEMPHILLs. In 1797 Philip and Daniel BARNHART, and Peter and Andrew BARNHART, joined the settlement. In 1803 James HEMPHILL established a distillery on his land. This is accredited with being the first manufacturing enterprise, the LASHER mill being the second. They were the only manufacturing enterprises established until after the town was laid out. The White Oak church cemetery is on this tract, and the first burial was William BARNHART, a son of Jacob, Sr. In the same year (1795) Adam HEMPHILL settled on 400 acres of land adjoining his brother James HEMPHILL's tract on the west.
