=== Settler Records === | |||
Settlers along the Minsi in Pennsylvania and New York are most likely to have originally come from either Philadelphia, or from Massachusetts or Connecticut, especially areas near Springfield, Boston, or Hartford. But people from almost every part of the eastern seaboard and Europe also were common in the area. | |||
No complete list of settlers in Pennsylvania and New York who used the '''Minsi Path''' is known to exist. However, many of the earliest settlers in the area would have used this turnpike to reach their new home. The Minsi Path would have attracted nearby settlers because it helped them reach markets for buying and selling goods and services. Therefore, the land records, tax records, and histories of the earliest settlers along the route would list the names of people likely to have used this pathway. | |||
