He had moved to PA. From " The History of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania" by Stocker p.358. The first settlers on the hill...were Lemuel Wallbridge and his son Henry...natives of CT who located near the summit about 1812. They also bought the Doctor Turrell farm, below them, and Henry Wallbridge first improved the Jagger farm. About the same time Christian Shelp, a Mohawk Dutchman, came from New Milford where he had settled after moving from NY, and bought four hundred acres of the Rose lands between the above two places. His father-in-law, Henry Pruyne, who had settled in Great Bend in 1810, came with him.The latter was a Rev war soldier and a pensioner....Christian Shelp had sons named John, Nathaniel, Henry, Christian Jr, and Stephen. Henry afterwards lived on the farm which his father had occupied many years. Charles Davis, a son-in-law of Shelp, located in the same neighborhood, and, as these settlers were permanent, the locality took the name of "Dutch Hill" which it has retained to the present. p.495: members of the Shelp family noted as pioneer members of the Fair Hill Methodist Episcopal Church.
