General Notes: Husband - James McAllister

---

[From Pennsylvania?] he went to Savannah, Georgia, and settled where Fort McAllister was later located. [HCC 1886, 424]

Prior to 1774 he lived in Lurgan township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (later a part of Adams County), and owned a farm and grist mill which he sold before leaving for Virginia. "Lived at Martinsburg, Berkley County, Virginia, and was in the mercantile business. Sold out and bought a property in a small town called Springfield, Hampshire County, within a few miles of Frankfort, that state. He was a very handsome old gentleman, independent and had plenty of colored servants." (From letter of Daniel McKnight, dated Feb. 20, 1857, to his brother, Ormsby McKnight).
James McAllister went to Virginia from Pennsylvania in 1777. At a court held in Frederick County, that state, March 8, 1780, deposed that in the year 1763 he was a Lieutenant in a Pennsylvania regiment, in which capacity he served during the French war, that he had never received any land for the same, and that this is the first time of making thereof, and produced his commission given under the hand of Lieut. Gov. James Hamilton, Esq. During the year 1743, in Pennsylvania, James McAllister took out a license to trade with the Indians. At a court held in Frederick County, Feb. 5, 1788, James McAllister and his son, John, were permitted to erect a house 12 by 26 feet for the purpose of a nail manufactory. Some time prior to 1790 he was elected Sheriff of Berkley County, in what is now West Virginia.
