Miller, attorney, at the Hamilton Library of which he was a director in 1907. __________ To write anything approximating a detailed narrative of the old Taverns of Carlisle would involve a mass of matter that could not be presented in a paper of this kind, nor is it obtainable at this late date, for it must be remembered that these old taverns were the places to which the people flocked for the transaction of most of the public business and much of their private affairs. Carlisle is unique in its history as having the almost sole distinction of living under three flags, to wit: The British, the American and the Confederate, being the centre around which revolved much of the theatre of action of the Colonial and Revolutionary periods, and its public houses were the rendezvous of the great public men of that period where they plotted and framed plans of action for those strenuous times. It would be interesting indeed were it attainable to have collected an account of all the important transactions that took place beneath the sheltering roofs of these old Carlisle Taverns. But since this cannot be, we must content ourselves with compiling the information at hand, in the hope that the future historian may add thereto. It is probable that a tavern or taverns may have existed in or about Carlisle prior to the formation of the County, in 1750, for it is authentically stated that the widow Piper kept a tavern in Shippensburg as early as 1736, and in some of the license application papers now on file at the Court House, for applicants to keep taverns in Shippensburg, for 1750, they make the declaration that it is for a license in the house they have heretofore kept. I cannot find any record or paper applying for license in Carlisle in 1750. They have no doubt been lost or destroyed. The first license papers I have been able to find were those for 1751. In that year Arthur Buchanan petitioned the Court and was granted a license to keep a tavern under circumspect rules. His petition to the Court asking for a license read as follows: To the Worshipful, the Justices of Cumberland County. The Humble Petition of Arthur Buchanan, &c. "Most humbly showeth that your petitioner as well known to your Honors was drove to this town by the savage cruelties with loss of his total effects. He then flying with his family for the preservation of their lives, and rendered unable to support his numerous family without falling into some way of business for their support, etc. "Your petitioner therefore most humbly prays that your Honors will be pleased to consider the premises and the condition of his poor family, and that you ll be pleased to grant him a license to retail beer and cider, and your petitioner in duty boind shall ever pray, &c. ARTHUR BUCHANAN." The house in which he kept this tavern, was a two-story log house situated on lot number 277, which would be on the North side of Main Street, about midway between Bedford and East. This Arthur Buchanan, with his three brothers, Walter, William and Robert, were of the early settlers having come into the valley contemporaneous with George Crogan and no doubt one of them was the progenitor of the late President James Buchanan; in that same year John McCallister was granted a license to keep a tavern on the corner of High and Bedford Streets (then known as Market and Oak Streets) on the lot now occupied by the "Cumberland Hotel"; that this was the first year for McCallister is evidenced in his application for in it he states that "He hath made preparation and is now ready to keep a tavern." A license was also granted that year to Benjamin Wallace, but I cannot locate his place. He stated that "He hath and doth intend to make preparation for a public house or inn in Carlisle." In 1751 Oliver Wallace applies for a license to sell beer. In his application he says "He has for some time sold beer which has occasioned him to trust several people in the County with the greater part of his substance, for the collection of which, and further that both he and his wife are very old, he therefore prays for a license to sell beer." In the year 1752 I can find but one license paper on file, viz: that of James Bronon, he had 28 recommenders on his petition: likewise in 1753 I can find but one license paper, to wit: that of William Buchanan, one of the four brothers heretofore mentioned. In 1754 and 1755 the papers are lost. In 1755 John Welsh, William Spear, Thomas Lockhart and Andrew McIntire are licensed; Lockhart in his petition asks for favorable consideration owning to the dullness of the times in his trade. In 1757, we have Thomas Colhoon and Thomas Lockart. In 1758 Walter Denny, Andrew McIntire and James Pollock are licensed. Pollock s place was where they are now constructing the Y. M. C. A. Building. Robert Gibson in that year asks for a license to sell beer and cider. In 1759 the number of licenses increased to ten, at least I have found that many papers, and those licensed were Wilson Thompson, Arthur Buchanan, (asks renewal) James Hunter, Robert Gibson, James Magill, James Pollock (required to give £100 bail and pay arrears), Andrew McIntire (to give £90 bail and pay arrears), James Stackpole on lot No. 181, the N. E. Cor. Hanover Street and Locust Alley, where George Bridges now conducts his implement store, George Hook. To the Worshipful Justices of the Court of General Quarter Sessions, held at Carlisle, July 1759. The Petition of George Hook, of the town of Carlisle, humbly showeth: That your Petitioner has provided himself with necessaries suitable for entertaining travelers and others in the town of Carlisle, and from his situation to the great concourse of people in this war time it is almost unavoidable for your Petitioner to live private, and being willing and desirous to comply with ye laws, prays your Worships may please to recommend your Petitioner to his honor, ye Governor, for a license to your Petitioner to keep a public house in ye town of Carlisle, and he as in duty, bound will pray, &c., John Chapman, in a new house just built. I find papers for 1760, to James Pollock on Lot 109 and 1761 to Christopher Brandon on lot No. 160 Corner Hanover Street and Chapple Alley. In 1762, we have Robert Hamersley, Thomas Park, Robert Gibson, John Gray, on lot No. 294, where subsequently Charles McManus kept the "Eagle and Harp," Barbara Hoke, James Pollock, Joseph Hunter, James Barckley, Archibald McAllister, (Corner High and Bedford streets) Francis McNockle, James Parker and John Kennedy. In 1763 I can find no papers. In 1764 I find that James Thompson, Duncan McDonald, both just starting, and James Pollock. In 1765 '6 '7 '8 I can find no papers. In 1769 ?? In 1770 are John Pollock, James Pollock, Christopher VanLear, Ephraim Blain, John Gray, Ralph Nailor, James Ramsey, Peter Pentz, John McCurdy, Duncan MacDonald, John Prentice, Edward Morrow and James Stackpole. In 1771 we have ten licenses for Carlisle, to wit, John Prentice, Conrad Beamer, (to sell beer) James Davis, John Pollock, Christopher VanLear, John McCurdy, Peter Pentz, Duncan MacDonald, Nicholas Young, James Pollock. The location of these houses is indefinite, but for the most part, were in the lower part of the town, east of Hanover Street. In 1772 we have John Johnson, who kept on High Street, Ephraim Blain, Ralph Miller, John Pollock, Christopher VanLear, James Pollock, Arthur Buchanan, John Gray, James Davis, Duncan MacDonald, John McCurdy, James Ramsey, Peter Pentz, Conrad Beamer, who kept on York Street. In 1773 we have James Stuart, kept as near as can be ascertained, at the corner of Hanover Street and Chapel Alley. John Pollock kept in first lot west of the jail. In this year Jacob Swim bought and kept at the Northwest corner of Bedford and Louther and sold it in 1778 to Thomas McMurray, John Gray on the East end of Louther Street, Conrad Beamer in Hanover Street, northeast corner of Hanover and Louther, formerly John Kinkead, and Jacob Seller, with a beer license. In 1774 I find Samuel Fisher at the "Seven Stars," which may have been either where the residence of Joseph Bosler now is, or the Northeast corner of Hanover Street and Locust Alley. 1775 '6 '7 I could find no papers.
