She bought horses, wagons, and cattle, and cut her way through to Armagh, Pennsylvania, near where her brother, John Tomb, had settled; and bought the Patent "Plainfield." She laid out the town of Armagh, called for the Irish home; which is the oldest existing town in Indiana County. [Deeds in Greensburg, in the name of James Graham, her second husband.] She had belonged to the Carnmony Church, near Belfast, Ireland.
She brought with her, her brother, David Tomb, wife and family, her sister, Elizabeth Tomb and husband, Alexander Carnahan, and two sisters, Catherine and Mary Tomb, also four Irish families who had worked on her estate in Ireland (Lukes', Fees', Junkins', Awls', and perhaps Leslies'). They all belonged to the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and brought their certificates with them.
