General Notes: Husband - Andrew McAllister


He was born on the old McAllister farm [in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania?].

By his father's will, dated 1768, he became the owner of the farm in West Pennsboro township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, on the turnpike four miles west of Carlisle. His own will was dated August 6, 1804, at West Pennsboro, and probated Feb. 20, 1805, with his sons, Archibald and James, as executors. The farm eventually became the property (1898), of James McAllister Ralston, a grandson of Andrew McAllister. He lived there until his death, and bequeathed the farm to his two sons, Archibald, and James, who lived there until their deaths, with their maiden sister, Eleanor. The farm was then purchased by James McAllister Ralston's mother, whose maiden name was Leacy McAllister.
