General Notes: Husband - Robert Wylie

---

His ancestors were known as leaders in the reformation of the Church of Scotland, and several of them were banished from Scotland and Ireland for their adherence to the principles of the new church.

He came to America with several of his half-brothers about 1761. They first stopped in the east, and further west, at Thompsontown, Pennsylvania, on the Juniata river, he married. About 1780, with his wife, he came west to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and took up a tract of 600 acres of land, and on this he built a log house in which he lived for some years, or until about 1800, when he put up a stone house which stood for almost a century. Through this farm was the main Indian trail from the west to the dwelling of the great Chief Catfish, whose cabin stood on the bank of Catfish creek, at the foot of what became Main street in Washington. (A chief watering place was a spring on this farm, where the wandering Indian always stopped to quench his thirst). He built a trade mill and distillery, thus opening a market for the grain raised in the neighborhood; he was also largely interested in salting pork for many years; later he started a wagon train, hauling products east, principally to Baltimore. He was a member of the Associate Reformed Church, and for many years an elder in the church at North Buffalo. In the burying ground around this old church his and his wife's remains lie at rest.
