General Notes: Husband - Capt. Joseph Huston

---

Near the year 1772, Capt. Joseph Huston, with his family, came from Peach Bottom, Virginia, to the vicinity of Tyrone township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and settled upon a tract of land containing two hundred and seventy-seven acres, for which he took out a warrant in 1786. His wife was Margery Cunningham, the eldest sister of Barnett Cunningham, who followed them thither within a year or two. Upon the land which he located Capt. Huston built a cabin for his family, wherein they lived prosperous and contented. In 1782 he accompanied Col. Crawford upon his expedition which proved so disastrous. Before leaving home he gave to the township a piece of land which became known as the Cochran graveyard. Soon after returning from the Crawford expedition Capt. Huston died, and his remains were the first to be carried to the cemetery for which he had made provision.
