General Notes: Husband - Conrad Schrecengost


He came early to America, with his father, and lived for some time in Berks County, Pennsylvania, removing west to what is now Armstrong County in the latter part of the eighteenth century. He purchased land in Kittanning (what is now Valley) township, and not only followed agricultural pursuits, but also mechanical work, being a gunsmith by trade. He could use a gun as well as make one and was a noted hunter in his day. His death occurred at his homestead. He was a Federalist in politics and in religious belief a Lutheran, being a member of the church.

He was born in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. [HAC 1914, 694]

He was a native of Germany, and a "Redemptioner," and his wife Catharine, also a native of Germany, with their family, between 1790 and 1800, migrated from eastern Pennsylvania and located on the Peter Hill farm, Valley township, Armstrong County.
