General Notes: Wife - Unknown


When Rev. James Power first visited the region that is now Fayette County, Pennsylvania, on his missionary tour in 1774 he found the Smiths, the Vances, the Chains, the Stewarts, and others. Among them were three sons and two daughters of one godly woman who was married twice in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, where she died. Her oldest son, Barnett Cunningham, came from Peach Bottom Valley, in 1770, with his wife, Anna Wilson, to whom he had then been married ten years. He had been preceded a short time by his eldest sister, Margery, wife of Col. Joseph Huston.
