The Jericho area is the left center area of this 1890's map of Bartlett. It generally follows the Rocky Branch River.
The caption is difficult to read, but it says "Hauling Timber by 2000 foot cable" "Maple Mountain Rocky Branch 1914" Anyone out there care to share any stories about this adventure? E-mail them to me. Use the "Contact" link above
Brothers Enoch and Humphrey Emery were among the first settlers to arrive in 1784. They accepted an offer from William Stark, who had been granted 3000 acres from Governor Wentworth, to homestead on part of the land. Their little area was originally known as Starks Location. In later times it became known as Jericho.
The Parker Family have occupied Jericho for many decades. This is Buster Parker and Family, perhaps 1980's ?
Do you have any stories or remembrances of Jericho ? Tell me.
