Michael hesitated a moment and, ALMOST every island in the Susquehanna River" included within the boundaries of Dauphin County, from the mouth of the Conewago creek on the south to the Northumberland County line on the north, has had a half dozen names. One such island, called on more recent maps of Dauphin County Clempson or Clemson island, which lies opposite the borough of Halifax, started out about 1800 as Peak Island.

It was sold by the executors of Christian Bowman, an earlier owner, to Jehu and Amos Clemson, and then in 1813 Jehu Clemson, of Leacock Township, Lancaster County, bought Amos' share for 1375 pounds in gold coin, dr approximately $7000, which seems a high price indeed for half an island at a period when farms in the same locality were selling for much less. What made this island, and many others, valuable in those years were shad fisheries. Shad fishing was an extensive industry, and even islands of only an acre or so went for high prices. This island, which soon came to be known as Clemson Island, after its new owner, seems to have had extensive buildings on it for shad fishing, for in addition to the fishery the deed mentions houses, fishing places and landings. Jehu Clemson had the island surveyed by Joseph Gest, shortly after he purchased Amos Clemson's half of it, and Gest found it consisted of 129 acres, although previously it had been believed to have an area of ninety-one acres.

The Clemson family, of which these two' men were members, was a prominent one in eastern Lancaster County, where the first of that name had settled on a 600-acre plantation about 1710. The early generations at least were prominent as Quakers, while one of the cousins of these two men married a daughter of John C. Calhoun, the famed South Carolina firebrand, who figured so prominently in the Congressional fights over slavery in the decades before the Civil War. M. B.
