General Notes: Husband - Jacob Hargnett

---

On his arrival in America he settled near Hagerstown, Maryland, and some few years after that took up land in Ligonier Valley, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It was situated about two miles south of Ligonier.

He was born in Germany and was still a young man when he came to America and settled near Hagerstown, Maryland. He remained there a few years and then removed with his family to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he took up land in the Ligonier valley about 1770. The hostility of the Indians, however, compelled him, as it had many other pioneers, to abandon this home in a very short time. He accordingly returned to Maryland, where he lived for the next eight years. When peace had in some degree been established on the western border, he returned to the Ligonier valley and again settled on the lands he had previously occupied. This was situated about two miles southwest of Fort Ligonier.
