General Notes: Husband - John Fife

---

The Fife family is numbered among the oldest and most prominent families of Upper St. Clair township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. In 1756 John Fife, a native of Ireland, immigrated to America and settled at Winchester, Virginia, where for ten years he was engaged in tailoring; later he came west, and took up one thousand acres of land in what is now Upper St. Clair township, Allegheny county. His brother William came to America in 1770, located in the vicinity of Philadelphia, and six years later joined his brother in Allegheny County, taking up a tract of 386 acres. A large number of descendants of these two brothers are now scattered all over the United States. [HAC 1889 II, 406]

He was born in Fifeshire, Scotland, and came to America with his brother William in 1756. The brothers located at Winchester, Virginia, and ten years later in Upper St. Clair township, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania. There they patented 1,000 acres of land from the government, naming their patents Fifeshire and Lambeth, after their Scottish home, each owning his land separate from the other. John Fife cultivated his farm in part until his death about the year 1800. [GPHWP, 286]
