General Notes: Husband - George Beighley




     He came from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Butler County soon after his brothers, Henry and John. He settled near Middle Lancaster. He served in the War of 1812 a short time.
     When he was commencing operations upon his farm, he left his work for a short time, and when he returned to resume it, he found an intruder had arrived, and was busily engaged in completing the cabin which he had begun. The man who cut the first timber was rightfully the settler; so, as was customary, Beighle called a committee of three of his neighbors, who were acquainted with the facts in the case, and the claims to the settlement was decided in his favor. After he had his cabin erected, some Indians who were camping on Camp Run, in Lawrence County, a few miles distant, came in the night and threw it down.
     He was quite a noted hunter and was accustomed to get young deer, tame them and keep them for pets.
     He died when seventy years old.

He settled in what is now Lancaster township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, near the site of Middle Lancaster, prior to 1800. [HBC 1895, 1194]
