The family of Carpenter Winslow, who came from first Pittston, then Wiscasset, then Bristol Maine, in 1818, were the first to settle in what is now Gaskill township which occupies the southeastern corner of Jefferson county, PA. . They cleared the land and made the first improvements. The family of Carpenter Winslow, who came from Maine, in 1818, were the first to settle the old homestead in what is now Gaskill (then Perry Township)township, Jefferson County Pa. They cleared the land and made the first improvements. Leaving Maine where Carpenter owned a shipyard they came to Gaskill Township by way of the Chesapeake Bay and the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.

They were early pioneers to Elk County. Natives of Maine, they came to Clearfield County, PA. in 1820. They lived there one year, then went to Punxsutawney, PA until 1828, when they removed to Benezette Township, Elk County. They apparently endured many hardships incident to pioneer life, bringing all their provisions in a canoe from Lock Haven (a distance of 75 miles), taking two and a half days to push the canoe up the stream.

It is said he first made a temporary location in Clearfield County in 1819 at which time he purchased his farm in what is now Gaskill Township and after erecting buildings settled there in 1821. Was the first family to settle in Gaskill Township which was then dense wilderness and the had to undergo many privations. They found healthy climate and where soil thought hard to clear was productive and soon had grain and feed . and with surrounding forests and streams had game and fish . One difficulty was to carry gain 20 plus miles to a mill. Soon Dr John W Jenks came and so did the Bowers family. approximately 1818, Carpenter and Elizabeth Colburn Winslow and their extended families traveled from Maine on the Atlantic Ocean to the Chesapeake Bay; to the Susquehanna River; and following the West Branch of the Susquehanna arrived in Clearfield, PA. Here Carpenter built a bridge across the Susquehanna, and after a short time, the families moved overland to Gaskill Township, just outside Punxsutawney, PA, where they established a homestead. In 1828, Carpenter Winslow, Jr. and his wife, Beulah Keene Winslow, along with his brothers, Reuben and Ebenezer Winslow, moved on to what is now Winslow Hill in Benezette, Elk County, PA.
