General Notes: Husband - Alexander McCurdy


In 1756 he came to America and settled on the banks of "Crooked creek," in what was then Westmoreland (later Indiana) County, Pennsylvania. He afterwards lived near the "Salt Works" on the Conemaugh river. During the latter part of his life he lived on the McCurdy farm, adjoining the Pounds homestead, near Livermore, where he died at the age of ninety-four. He was a Revolutionary soldier in Capt. Matthew Scott's company, Thirteenth Pa. Reg., afterwards became an officer, was wounded in the arms at Yorktown, and received a pension. He accompanied his son Samuel in the War of 1812 for a short time, and was employed in training the soldiers in military exercises. He was a man of considerable wealth, a noted musician, a strict seceder and well known for his extensive knowledge of the scriptures.
