DANIEL WELLIVER settled in what is now Madison township, on Whetstone run,
now called Bear run, in the year 1776. He was driven off by the Indians in
1778, and came back in 1780. His purchase was east of Jerseytown, and took
in the farms now occupied by Vincent SHULTZ and Silas WELLIVER. Silas lives
on the homestead of his grandfather - Valentine WELLIVER lives on the same
purchase. All the north end of the township belonged to him. He raised a
large and respectable family of four sons and seven daughters. He came from
Sussex county, NJ. (History of Columbia County, PA by John G. Freeze, 1883.)
