Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Major Jason Torrey: Of Bethany, Wayne County, Pa Jason, Torrey, popularly known as Major Torrey, was one of the earliest settlers in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and was efficiently and conspicuously associated with the first half of the century of its material and social development. He reared a large family, and the majority of his descendants has remained in the vicinity of the scenes of his laborious and fruitful activities. But neither he, nor any of his progenitors, in so far as we know, nor any of his descendants, until within a few years, have devoted any attention to the collecting or preserving of any comprehensive genealogical information concerning either the earlier or later generations of the family. Whatever work had been done in this direction, consisted merely of limited family records, made for separate households, and many of these were found to be very incomplete and fragmentary.
