General Notes: Husband - Joseph Clifford

---

He was just a lad when brought by his father to the Ligonier valley, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and he spent his life on the farm which came into the possession of the family April 22, 1772. The house which he built, with some improvements, was still standing in 1918.

General Notes: Wife - Isabella Prichett

---

Four families named, respectively, Prichett, Meharg, Parks and Clifford, came to Ligonier valley, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in one delegation, before the revolution. They all came from the one section in New Jersey. The Prichett family had become tired of their home in Ligonier valley, presumably because of the Indian incursions, and had concluded to move back to New Jersey and take their daughter Isabella with them. On the night before they were to start, Joseph Clifford took Isabella across the hills to Squire James Pollock's place, where they were married and she remained a citizen of the valley until her death.
