General Notes: Husband - James McLanahan

---

He was the ancestor of the McLanahan family of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and was one of the early settlers in the Conococheague valley. He came to Antrim township about 1734, and obtained a warrant for tracts of land, comprising 900 acres, July 5, 1742. It is probable that he first obtained a Maryland grant, believing that the Conococheague country was in the Province belonging to Lord Baltimore. His will was made June 6, 1764, and probated May 27, 1777. After providing for his wife, Mary, who was made executrix, he divided his land between his two sons. He also disposed of his four slaves, Dick, Sam, Doll and Milley. If the women were sold, the will declared that "Doll and Milley is to be learned to Reed the Bible by their masters."
