I just returned from a visit to Rural Valley, PA to see the home that Jakey Lias built abt. mid-1800's. He was the son of Peter Lias. Peter and his brother John came across the mountains from Huntingdon Co. and dropped the "E" from their surname. The local Lias connections believe themselves to be of Welsh descent. It was once a beautiful place with fishponds and gardens. It is in TERRIBLE condition. There are apparently people living there but the surrounding grounds are being used as a junkyard for autos, farm machinery, etc. It is sad to see it so.
