  • Notes 
    • 1. William came to America from Ireland in 1790 with his brother James. His brother John was Captain of the ship and apparently did not move to America. The trip lasted 11 weeks landing at Wilmington, Delaware. William and James removed to Mercersburg, Pennsylvania where they spent the first winter with friends. In the next spring, both families crossed the Allegheny Mountains on mules to Loyalhanna Creek, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania where they settled.
