the township of Frankstown from Huntingdon county, and the townships of Cambria and Conemaugh from Somerset, and probably a small part of the northwest corner of Bedford county. It will be observed that the act authorizing the creation of Cambria county specifies that it shall include certain portions of "Huntingdon and Somerset" counties, and does not mention Bedford, but the records in the Department of Internal Affairs at Harrisburg claim that a part of Bedford was included.
The following is a list of the taxable inhabitants of Brothers Valley township, in Bedford county, in the year 1772. Brothers Valley township included all of Cambria county, and was organized in April, 1771:
