context: Title: Pennsylvania Route 850
  Passage: Pennsylvania Route 850 (PA 850) is a 44 mi state highway located in Juniata and Perry Counties in Pennsylvania.  The western terminus is at PA 35 in Tuscarora Township.  The eastern terminus is at US 11/US 15 in Marysville.  PA 850 is a two-lane undivided road that runs through rural areas in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians.  The route heads southeast from PA 35 and crosses PA 75 in Honey Grove before it traverses Tuscarora Mountain and leaves Juniata County for Perry County.  PA 850 continues southeast and crosses PA 17 in Kistler before running east concurrent with PA 274 between Fort Robinson and Loysville.  The route turns back to the southeast and heads south concurrent with PA 233 into Landisburg.  PA 850 heads east, crossing PA 74 in Alinda before following PA 34 southeast between Dromgold and Shermans Dale.  From here, the route continues east to its terminus in Marysville.  PA 850 was designated in 1928 to run from PA 274 in Fort Robinson northwest to Kistler, with the road between Landisburg and Dromgold designated as part of PA 233.  In the 1930s, the route was extended to its current length between PA 35 in Tuscarora Township and PA 14 (now US 11/US 15) in Marysville, replacing the portion of PA 233 between Landisburg and Dromgold.

Named after popular 1800s picnic grounds located in the vicinity (at the upper end of Stambaugh Farm Run), the town serves as Perry County’s midpoint between the Conococheague Mountain in the west and the Susquehanna River to the east.

Scottish Americans are closely related to Scotch-Irish Americans, descendants of Ulster Scots, and communities emphasize and celebrate a common heritage.  The majority of Scotch-Irish Americans originally came from Lowland Scotland and Northern England before migrating to the province of Ulster in Ireland (see "Plantation of Ulster") and thence, beginning about five generations later, to North America in large numbers during the eighteenth century.

  Title: Scotch-Irish Americans
  Passage: Scotch-Irish (or Scots-Irish) Americans are American descendants of Presbyterian and other Ulster Protestant Dissenters from various parts of Ireland, but usually from the province of Ulster, who migrated to North America during the 18th and 19th centuries.  While an estimated 36 million Americans (12% of the total population) reported Irish ancestry in 2006, and 6 million (2% of the population) reported Scottish ancestry, an additional 5.4 million (1.8% of the population) identified more specifically with Scotch-Irish ancestry.  The term "Scotch-Irish" is used primarily in the United States, with people in Great Britain or Ireland who are of a similar ancestry identifying as Ulster Scots people.  Most of these emigres from Ireland had been recent settlers, or the descendants of settlers, from the Kingdom of England or the Kingdom of Scotland who had gone to Ireland to seek economic opportunities and freedom from the control of the episcopal Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church.  These included 200,000 Scottish Presbyterians who settled in Ireland between 1608-1697.  Many English-born settlers of this period were also Presbyterians, although the denomination is today most strongly identified with Scotland.  When King Charles I attempted to force these Presbyterians into the Church of England in the 1630s, many chose to re-emigrate to North America where religious liberty was greater.  Later attempts to force the Church of England's control over dissident Protestants in Ireland were to lead to further waves of emigration to the trans-Atlantic colonies.
