General Notes: Husband - James McClymonds


He resided in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, from about 1814 until 1831, and worked at farming. At the latter date he located in Muddy Creek Township, Butler County.

He and his family, consisting of his wife and nine children, moved to Muddy Creek Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, from Allegheny County in 1831. They purchased a farm of 400 acres from John Pearson, of Mercer. They brought with them some sheep and milch cows. Their first work was to erect a dwelling house fit for habitation as there was only a small hut on the farm, insufficient for the family in every respect. A double log barn stood on the place answering their needs for the first year. The fall prior to his locating here, Mr. McClymonds came out and planted fruit trees on the farm, many of which were still standing in 1883, possessing all their usual vitality, and bearing fruit. [HBC 1883, 348]

He was a native of Scotland, and upon coming to the United States first located in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He subsequently moved to Muddy Creek Township, Butler County, where he became owner of more than 500 acres of land. He and his wife both died there at advanced ages.

He was born in the United States, presumably in Pennsylvania, and was of Scottish ancestry. He came from the eastern part of the state, and was one of the pioneers of the region west of the Allegheny mountains. He settled at Walker's Mills, near what is now Carnegie, Allegheny County, where he owned a farm of about seventy acres, on which he lived until 1831, when he moved with his family to Portersville, Butler County, having purchased in Muddy Creek township a tract of land of several hundred acres. This, with the aid of his sons, he cleared of timber and soon brought to a state of cultivation.
