Misc. Notes
Founded the town of Dansbury, Pa.

Daniel Brodhead, son of Richard Brodhead (a brother of Capt. Charles Brodhead before mentioned), came to Pennsylvania about 1735, and settled on what has since been called Brodhead's Creek, near Stroudsburg, then Bucks, now Monroe County. Mr. Brodhead laid out a town on his mile square of land and called it Dansbury. The Stroudsburg station of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Company is on this tract, and the town is called East Stroudsburg. From this pioneer are descended the Brodheads of Pennsylvania.
