General Notes: Husband - Andrew Hunter


After his father's death, his mother made her home with a Miss Craig, her sister, until the Revolu­tionary War. Robert and David went into the war, but Andrew being only nineteen, this relative would not let him go, but he ran off and entered the service anyway, and for this act of theirs all three were disinherited by their aunt. After the war the three brothers returned to Dauphin County. He removed with his family to what became Centre County (his brother, Robert, ac­companying him), prior to July 25, 1788, the date of birth of his son, Andrew, which occurred in Potter's Fort in what is now Potter township. Subsequently the family removed to Slab Cabin, a branch of Spring creek (so called from a cabin built of slabs that stood on the banks of the creek), and there resided many years. He and his wife finally removed to Indiana County, where they died.
