General Notes: Husband - George Alsbaugh


The family of George Alsbach came to Scotch Hill, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, in the year 1837.

In 1836 George Alsbach, a native of Union County, Pennsylvania, purchased the Ander-son tract for $1,500, and removed to it with his family from Shippenville. The surrounding country north, east, and south was a howling wilderness. Mr. Alsbach soon replaced the two log cabins, and the half barn of the same ma-terial, "which required props to keep it from falling," by more comfortable and modern frame dwellings. In the spring of 1851 Mr. Alsbach laid out a portion of his farm in lots and called the prospective village Scotch Hill, to commemorate its former occupant, Anderson, and his neighbor, McNaughton. At the same time he erected a storehouse and opened a store in it, making the first sale July 1, 1851. [HCC 1887, 514]

They settled in Venango County, Pennsylvania, about the year 1826, buying land at that time five miles west of Shippenville, and some ten years later removing to the northern part of Clarion County, near the Clarion river, where the village of Scotch Hill is now located and where the father purchased land and carried on farming in connection with lumbering and merchandising.
