General Notes: Husband - Henry Allshouse

---

He was a native of the province of Alsace-Loraine, a much disputed territory lying between France and Germany, and by right of conquest and treaty at various times it was annexed to both, but at that era was under the dominion of France, although the language and customs were those of the Germans. He came to America and settled in New Jersey prior to the Revolutionary war, in which heroic struggle for liberty and independence he served as a soldier throughout almost the entire contest. Having been carried to England a prisoner, he effected his escape and returned to witness the success of the Colonists, and to see their efforts crowned with victory and independence. He then came to Pennsylvania, settled in Westmoreland County, and purchased a large tract of land just north of the town of Jeannette. Here he resided and became prominent in the county and a conspicuous figure in politics, being elected to the State Legislature, term after term, for upwards of twenty years. He was twice married. and died at the age of eighty-eight years. [HBCWC 1890, 40]
