Barree Township, Bedford County, Tax Assessments, 1774

When created as a division of Cumberland County in 1767, Barree Township included all of present Huntingdon County, west of Jack’s Mountain and Sideling Hill, and the greater part of what is now Blair County. The name honors Col. Isaac Barre, who addressed the British Parliament in 1765 in defense of the colonists’ opposition to the Stamp Act. With the formation of Bedford County in 1771, Barree Township became part of the new county.
