General Notes: Husband - Christy Lesnett

---

This family is of German descent. The ancestors crossed the ocean in 1745 in the same vessel, and settled at Hagerstown, Maryland.

He was a mechanic, a cabinet-maker by trade. He enlisted in the army to come to Fort Pitt as a recruit, to hold it against the French and Pontiac, a chief of the Ottawa Indians, and was detailed to repair the supply-wagons. Being pleased with the country, he came back in the summer of 1768, with his two sons, Frederick and Frank, aged, respectively, fourteen and twelve years, and a man named Richard Gilson, who had located on land nearby the preceding autumn. In order to be neighbors Mr. Lesnett bought an adjoining claim, that was located in 1767, in the fall of 1768. Mr. Lesnett and Mr. Gilson returned to Maryland and remained until spring, when with their families they came and permanently settled in South Fayette township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, twelve miles from Pittsburgh, on the Pittsburgh and Washington turnpike. The Lesnett family then consisted of the parents and nine children.
