General Notes: Husband - Barnett Cunningham


He was a native of Ireland, emigrating from that country to Peach Bottom Valley, on the Susquehanna River, and from there to Tyrone township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.

He came to Tyrone township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and settled on land by tomahawk improvement. His advent was in 1770, and he held his land for the first seventeen years of his residence under that right. In 1787 he took a warrant for three hundred and sixteen acres, with allowance, paying for it twelve pounds six shillings, and received a patent therefor in 1795. In 1794, he was superintendent of highways.
His children and grandchildren all settled near his early home.
