General Notes: Husband - James McJunkin
He was born in 1777. [HBC 1895, 735] He was born in 1768. [HBC 1895, 1042]
About 1799, David McJunkin and his brother James settled on Muddy Creek, in Clay Township. John, another brother, came a few years later. David, soon took up a farm in Brady Township. [HBC 1883, 364]
He had two brothers, viz., David and John, and two sisters, who settled in the area of Butler County, PA; besides a cousin named William McJunkin, who was the first to occupy the Brackney farm.
He came to this country when a young man, and obtained by settlers' right 100 acres of land in Clay Township, Butler County, PA, which was part of the farm later owned by his son John. He was a typical pioneer, strong and resolute, full of energy and ambition, and well qualified to endure the privations and hardships incident to pioneer life. [HBC 1883, 410x]
He came from the North of Ireland, and in the year 1798 located upon a 400-acre tract in Clay Township, Butler County, PA. The first night in the wilderness was passed by sleeping upon a huge sandstone rock, which stood near the site of the large barn on the homestead. A small log cabin was erected at once, however, which served as a dwelling until about 1830, when a substantial house of hewed logs was built, to be succeeded in turn by a brick structure, which was erected in 1861, by John R. McJunkin.
When James McJunkin died, he left his wife and a large family of little ones still struggling upon an encumbered estate, the conditions of its purchase not yet fulfilled. As a consequence, men denominated in those days “land jobbers,” ever on the alert to take advantage of one's pecuniary distress, stepped forward and obtained possession of three-fourths of the tract. However, the widow and the children managed successfully. [HBC 1883, 414]
General Notes: Wife - Nancy Turner
She came to this country when but two years of age. The family were among the first settlers of Parker Township.
In 1833, her husband died, leaving her with a family of seven children, the eldest of whom, James T., was but thirteen years of age. Her resources were limited and the maintenance of a family at that time was a difficult task; but Mrs. McJunkin was a woman of strong mind and rare business ability. She not only managed the farm successfully, but gave her children all the advantages for education that were accessible. She was a devoted mother and friend, and a Christian woman. [HBC 1883, 410x]
