He was the father of thirteen children, seven of whom were sons, and four of these sons settled in Erie county. The eldest of these sons was Joel Olds, who came with a company from Vermont in the early spring of 1813. This Company were intending to go on to Ohio and settle in the "Western Reserve," but having camped overnight at a little settlement then or later known as Federal Hill (now within the city limits) a sudden thaw set in and the company having come on sleds or sledges found themselves unable to proceed on the bare ground and were constrained to settle in that immediate neighborhood — thus many good citizens were saved to the state of Pennsylvania who except for "hard sledding" would have gone further west. Joel Olds settled about two miles south of the city near the old French Military road. He was followed some two cr three years later by the next younger brother, Asa Gilbert Olds, who settled on the Lake Pleasant road just where the P. & E. R. R. now crosses that highway. He became the father of the late L. W. Olds, for many years one of the leading residents of Erie City, Nelson Olds, late of Greene township, and Erskine Olds, late of the old homestead in Mill Creek township. A few years later came another brother, Elisha Olds, who settled on the next farm east while still later, in 1835, came Lewis, seventh and last son of Phinehas Olds. Lewis was born in Williamstown, Vermont, March 14, 1814, and located in Conneautville, where in 1840 he was married to Eunice V. Scovel, whose ancestry also dates back to the Revolutionary period and whose maternal grandfather was Col. John Titus, a member of Washington's staff, who by special act of Congress was granted a pension for gallant service.
