General Notes: Husband - Fauntley Muse

---

He was born near Winchester, Virginia, and came in 1766 with his mother and stepfather to Elizabeth township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. They located on a tract near the village of Boston, on the Youghiogheny river, where he was reared from eleven years of age. He was a farmer all his life, and eventually died at the residence of his son, Fauntley, in Versailles township. [HAC 1889 ii, 444] He died at the farm on the Youghiogheny. [GPHWP, 785]

During the war of the Revolution he served on the frontier under seven different enlistments, his terms of service aggregating twenty months. He was engaged in many fights with Indians in western Pennsylvania, and rendered important service in controlling the native allies of the English. After the war he engaged in farming, owning two hundred acres, where Olympia Park, McKeesport, was later located.

He was a soldier of the Revolution, and after the war had six hundred acres patented to him, partly in what is now Versailles township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
