General Notes: Husband - Archibald McAllister
He was a pioneer school-teacher of Forward Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and settled about 1800 on what was later the John Banninger [Berringer] farm. Mrs. McCollister and her two young children, together with the bedding and furnishing material for the new home, came on one horse.
In 1801, the family left Washington County, Pennsylvania, and emigrated to and settled on land within the limits of Old Cranberry, now Forward Township, Butler County. The point selected by Archibald McAllister for his residence in the new settlement was on the "Old Indian trail" from Fort Du Quesne, now Pittsburgh, to the forts on the Allegheny River, now Franklin. This trail afterward became the Pittsburgh & Franklin road.
He was a well-educated Protestant Scotch-Irishman, who dwelt but little in the ideal, and excelled in the classics and mathematics, which he had successfully taught in the colleges of the old country.
