General Notes: Husband - Col. Archibald Lochry


He was of North Irish extraction, but was probably born in the Octoraro settlement (Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania?), for in 1763 he was an ensign in the Second Battalion in the provincial service (Arch., N. S., vol. ii, 614), and he was well known to the public when he was appointed one of the justices at the organization of the county, for he had held office along with his brother in Bedford. He took up large bodies of land, one particularly of great extent, whereon he located himself with some of his neighbors from Bedford. This tract lay in Unity township, on the south side of the turn-pike going from Greensburg to Ligonier, and near St. Xavier's Convent. The land became quite valuable, being underlaid with the thick vein of Connellsville coal. He dated his official correspondence at the "Twelve-Mile Run," which was the name of the small stream which flows into the Fourteen-Mile Run before it empties into the Loyalhanna. This name is known only in old records, the stream is not known as such now.
