General Notes: Husband - David Redick


He was a native of Ireland, who emigrated to America and settled for several years in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was a surveyor, and came to the Chartiers Valley with David Hoge, surveyed his lands, and laid out the town under the direction of Mr. Hoge. He remained there and purchased lot 273 on Main Street, where he built and lived till his death.
He was admitted to the bar in 1782. In 1786 he was elected a member of the Supreme Executive Council, and on the 14th of October, 1788, was chosen vice-president in place of Peter Muhlenberg, who resigned. He held the position until the election of George Ross, November 5th, the same year. Benjamin Franklin was president of the Council at the time he was vice-president. In October, 1787, he was appointed agent of the State for communicating to the Governor of New York intelligence respecting Connecticut claims. In 1791 he was appointed prothonotary of Washington County and clerk of the courts. He was appointed to survey the Ten Islands in the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers, and to divide the several tracts of land opposite Pittsburgh into building-lots. He was active and energetic in business, prominent in defense of law, order, and the constitution in the time of the Whiskey Insurrection, and was appointed with Mr. Findley to wait upon President Washington to assure him of the submission of those who had been insurgents. He died at Washington and was buried with Masonic honors.

That he was a native of Ireland is stated on the authority of a biographical note in IV. Penna. Archives, Sec. 5, 46; but Hon. D. Kaine, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, communicates that he was born about 1745, in East Pennsborough township, then Lancaster, now Cumberland, County, nine miles west of Harrisburg, where the village of Hogestown was later located. He studied law at Carlisle. [HWC 1882, 1004]
