General Notes: Husband - William Greenlee


William Greenlee, the oldest son of his father, was born in Ireland. Possibly it was he whose name appears on the roll of Captain John Clark's Company, attached to Colonel Potters, Second Battalion of Northumberland County Associators, in the Revolutionary service in 1776, see "History of Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys in Pennsylvania," p. 95.
He was killed by the Indians in Pennsylvania in May, 1780. According to traditions in the Thompson family, the man who married Mary Thompson "was killed by the Indians at Sunbury, Northumberland County, Pa.; the children of the family went west." Mary (Thomson) Greenlee died in Pennsylvania before 1780 and William Greenlee was soon to be married a second time when he was killed. He resided at Penn's Creek, near Swisher's Run in what is said to have been Juniata County, but was doubtless then Northumberland County, and is now Snyder County, Pennsylvania.
