Biography

William Dunlap was born December 9, 1780 in Ireland. He was the son of Alexander Dunlap and Margaret Kirkpatrick.

William Dunlap was born in Ireland. When he came to Clearfield County from the east coast, he drove his horse and wagon all the way, there being no railroads at that time, and settled in the midst of the woods in what is now Penn Twp. At that time Harrisburg, the capital, was the nearest trading place. William Dunlap was not only an industrious man but he was exceedingly enterprising. He built what was probably the first saw mill on Little Clearfield Creek, & after clearing up his first tract of land made additions to it & became possessed of 400 acres. At the time of his saw-milling industry dressed lumber was not in such demand as were shingles, logs being available all through this section for building purposes, & his saw mill output was mainly shingles, which at that time, were largely made by hand. He married Sarah Reed & they reared a family of 10 children, all of whom grew up on the pioneer farm. [1]

He passed away January 29, 1852 in Pike Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.

He was buried in Bloomington Cemetery, Bloomington, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. [2]
