General Notes: Husband - James McConaughey

---

The "Allison Block-house," or "Old cConaughey Fort," was erected by the Allisons and other settlers about 1788. It was a round log, two-story (20x24) building, and was situated very nearly on the site of the R. J. McConaughey wash house. The first improvement on the R. J. McConaughey farm was made by James McConaughey, about the commencement of the Revolutionary war. He was driven off by the Indians, and subsequently entered the Revolutionary army, serving for a number of years. The tract in the patent was called "Nazareth," and was surveyed on an application dated April 3d, 1769. It was sold in 1787 for taxes to Charles Campbell, by the commissioners of Westmoreland County. Campbell deeds, in 1788, the tract to Robert Allison, who obtains the patent in 1789. The patent is assigned to James McConaughey in 1815.
