The Hoy and Eyer Families
The upper region of the Susquehanna River was formerly known as Shamokin.
It derived its name from an Indian town which occupied the present site of Sunbury, at the confluence of the North and West Branches of the Susquehanna River.
The Name has been perpetuated in the beautiful city of Shamokin, east of Sunbury.
In 1772 the county of Northumberland was created, and it compromised all the upper region of the Susquehanna River. The West Branch Valley properly begins at the junction of the two branches and extends north to Williamsport, then west to Lock Haven, where the West Branch passes through the mountains.
The distance is over 60 miles. Westward from the river (West Branch) are many smaller valleys, extending literally from it as follows: West of Sunbury is Middle Creek Valley in Snyder County. A few miles north of Sunbury, and opening on the river is Dry Valley, in Union County, where the family of Abraham Eyer lived. A little north of this, and separated from it by the New Berlin Mountain, is the fertile and lovely Buffalo Valley, and in that valley lived Philip Hoy and his family. Farther north is White Deer Valley.
West of Buffalo and White Deer are the Penns, Brush and Sugar Valleys.
For the protection of the frontiers, a strong fort was built at the confluence of the North and West Branches of the Susquehanna River in 1756, in which the early settlers often found refuge during the dark days of the Revolution.
