The southern border of the township was the West Branch Susquehanna River.

He was born in Harford County, Maryland, in 1730 to a wealthy Quaker family.

Wallis received a good education and inherited a large fortune.

He gave up his job as a surveyor and began acquiring land up and down the West Branch Valley.

His holdings are said to have extended as far west as Pine Creek from his base of operations in Muncy Township.

This fort served as an outpost for the colonial army of Pennsylvania, providing a safe haven for settlers from various Indian attacks.

Samuel Wallis married Lydia Hollingsworth in Philadelphia on March 1, 1770.

Homes and fields were abandoned, with livestock driven along and a few possessions floated on rafts on the river east to Muncy, then further south to Sunbury.

Sullivan's Expedition helped stabilize the area and encouraged resettlement, which continued after the war.

The construction of this mill was entrusted to Colonel Henry Antes of Nippenose Township.

Samuel Wallis and James Wilson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the Supreme Court appointee of George Washington, became involved with Theophilus Cazenove and the Holland Land Company.

This company bought up much of the land that is now northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York near the Great Lakes.

Wallis worked as a surveyor and assessor for the land company, and Wilson was heavily invested in the operation.

Wallis contracted yellow fever on his return from North Carolina and died in Philadelphia on October 14, 1798.

The Reading-Halls Station Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
