Information I have found myself:

• Manion’s store is across the street from the Mongaup river, southern part of the area.

• The streams of Liberty have been subject to destructive floods. On the 24th of July, 1855, three or four showers of rain raised the Mongaup so that it swept off almost everything in its way. At Parksville, the dam of John Lewis and the saw-mill and turning-shop of Knickerbocker & Misner were destroyed. The tan-yard of Grant & Dean at Liberty, was overflowed, leaches torn away, etc. Meadows and grainfields in the vicinity were submerged and mined. The tannery of James Gildersleeve & Son was undermined and torn to pieces, and their leather and hides carried down stream. Their loss was $10,000. Farther down the stream, E. L. Burnham, J. H. Tillotson, Richard Dekay and others had a large amount of property destroyed. The estimated damage done by this flood was $20,000.
