Re: William Maclay; land

After William got smart enough to wait until John Harris sold all of his lots in Harrisburg, he then started selling his in Maclay's (burg) at a much higher price. After all, he owned 300 acres north and west of his house, which stood on the Southeast corner of his property. It included the site of the new capital for which he sold 10 acres at a $1.00/acre. Said he didn't want anyone to think he was influencing the decision to make Harrisburg the capital of Pennsylvania. Subsequently, John Harris didn't want to be "undone" and donated a few adjoining acres to the East.
This upset John and they had some difficulties. After that, when William moved back to Harrisburg from Sunbury, he decided to set up some competition with John's Ferry South of Harrisburg and began his own ferry, across to Maclay Island, thence to the Western shore.
Unfortunately, the capital didn't arrive until after William's death, but it was built exactly as he laid it out, including "broad avenues"...... William, contrary to popular belief, ( he had spent a lot of time travelling on the "rocky" Sesquehanna between Harrisburg and Sunbury) thought that roads would be more important than water traffic.
You can see his vision reflected in this view of the street leading from the capital entrance. Enough space has been removed from the central "park" to allow for parking and still enough space remains today for cars. Children were: JOHN HARRIS MACLAY, ELIZA MACLAY, ELEANOR MACLAY, MARY MACLAY, ESTHER HARRIS MACLAY, SARAH (SALLIE) MACLAY, JANE MACLAY, WILLIAM MACLAY, WILLIAM MACLAY.
