General Notes: Husband - Hon. Joseph Cunningham
He purchased his residence, known as Locust Ridge Home, and settled on it in 1848. In 1855 he was elected a Justice of the Peace; and re-elected to the same office in 1860. In 1861 he was elected to the position of Associate Judge.
In the possession of Hon. Joseph Cunningham were a number of old volumes, deserving mention from their antiquity. Among them was a volume printed by E. Griffin, in 1644, at London, England. The author was "Samuel Rutherford," Professor of Divinity at St. Andrews. The title of the work is "The Due Right of Presbyteries; or, a Peaceable Plea for the Government of the Church of Scotland." Another is a Gaelic Bible, printed in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1807. There was also a "Schoolmaster's Assistant," printed in Meath street,. Dublin, Ireland, in 1762, by Isaac Jackson, edited by Thomas Dilworth, a schoolmaster; a work on surveying, by Henry Wilson, printed in London, in 1731; and a number of ancient volumes, all well preserved. The binding on all of them was of leather. The books were the property of Donald McGregor, who brought them to America with him when he settled, about 1808 or 1809. McGregor located on the south side of Conoquenessing creek, on the farm later owned by P. M. Cunningham.
