General Notes: Husband - Hugh Dinwiddie


He was a resident of Pennsylvania from 1741, and was captain of a company in the Associated Companies of York county in 1756; major of 2d Battalion York Associators July 28, 1775, and lieutenant-colonel 3d Battalion, York Associators, July 28, 1775; and lieutenant colonel 3d Battalion, York Associators, Dec. 31, 1776.

The Dinwiddies were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, and in politics were Whigs, as distinguished from Tories.


General Notes: Wife - Jean Crawford


She displayed great courage during the Indian troubles. It is said of her that on April 13, 1758, seeing the smoke from the burning houses of her neighbors, and realizing the flames must have been kindled by Indians, she saddled her horse, and with her four little children stowed away
in saddle bags, fled some three or four miles away to the fort where her husband was on duty.
