General Notes: Husband - Andrew Byerly

---

He came from Germany to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where his first wife died. He married again and then removed to the site of Harrison City, Westmoreland County.

He was one of Col. Bouquet's scouts at "Bushy Run." He was one of eighteen scouts sent out on the morning of that battle, and was one of but six who were not killed.

He came to western Pennsylvania with Braddock's army as General Braddock's butler. Here he married and settled. [ONW, 176]

A noted pioneer, he located at Lancaster, Pennsylvania at an early date. He served in General Braddock's army in 1755, and from then until 1760 was with the garrison at Fort Bedford. In 1759 he was granted a tract of land on Bushy Run in Westmoreland County, on which a year later he built a cabin, and established a relay station between Fort Pitt and Fort Ligonier. At the decisive battle of Bushy Run in August, 1763, he fought under Colonel Henry Bouquet. He died just prior to the Revolutionary War. [ONW, 1256]
