General Notes: Husband - Henry Allshouse

---

He came, it is supposed, from a place on the banks of the Rhine and settled with his brother in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, some time prior to the Revolutionary war. Soon after the commencement of hostilities he enlisted in what was called the "Associators," and served in the battle of Long Island. He was numbered among the killed, wounded and missing, but was actually taken prisoner by the British and held in captivity for about a year and a half. He afterward re-enlisted in a company from the northern part of Northampton County.
After the war he crossed the Alleghanies and settled just north of the present town of Jeannette, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, on a tract of three hundred acres, presumably a grant from the government in compensation for his military services. At his death this land went out of the Allshouse name. In the eighteen 'tens and 'twenties he was a member of the Pennsylvania legislature, serving in all fifteen years and spending two terms in the senate. He was in his day one of the most prominent Democratic leaders of Westmoreland County. It was said by his colleagues and constituents that he organized the Pennsylvania legislature, and further, that he was one of the founders of the Democratic party.
