Anyone familiar w/early historical activity in the North central PA area (i.e. north of the West Branch of Susquehanna River & Williamsport) during 1650-1750 period? Looking for any sources related to this area or any members that live in that area.

Get a copy of "The Indian Wars of Pennsylvania". Published by Wennawoods Publishing. That will tell you a lot. Also, "The First Rebel" by James Swanson is good.

For the time period given (1650-1750) I am going to say that the majority of the history will be native related. The only white man that I recall leaving an account of traveling through this geographic area in the earlier years you mention was Frenchman Etienne Brule. During the latter years Conrad Weiser and some others were traveling through there while heading to Onandaga to treat with the Iroquois nations.
