General Notes: Husband - Archibald Allison, Jr.
Penn's Valley, Centre Co, PA
Though young in years, he took an active part in the de-fense of the frontiers, to which reference is made in Linn's "Annals of Buffalo Valley," page 174, and was an exceedingly bold and courageous man. After the war he pushed on up into Penn's Valley. He bought from the Penns the eastern third of what was known as the Manor of Succoth, north of the Great Spring tract.
He was stout and heavily built, with a round, ruddy face and flaxen hair, and possessed great muscular power together with a bold and courageous spirit. In politics he was a Federalist, and in religious faith he was a Presbyterian.
He was about six feet three inches in height, weighing about 190 pounds, "cordy as an elk, and swift as a reindeer." He was an expert with the rifle in his day, and was a chosen scout of Lee and Washington. [See history of the early settlement in the eastern counties, also, history of Dauphin and Cumber-land counties.] [HMFE, 967]
