At or about the time of the organization of Clearfield [PA] as a county, March, 1804, families came and settled much more rapidly than before the erection was made. Among the many who then found homes by purchase, or grant, was the family of Thomas Forcey, a former resident of New Jersey. Forcey settled at " Polk's Bottom," now on the site of Reedsville.
