General Notes: Husband - Andrew Rose Nye

---

He and his wife came to western Pennsylvania from Philadelphia, and settled for some time at Peter's Creek [Washington County?], but afterwards removed to Lawrence County, where they received a patent for four hundred acres of new land. They built thereon a log-house in 1793, near the site of the Presbyterian Church, and lived many years.
When he made his settlement there were only two families in the vicinity for miles and miles, and they were the Renyons and Hazens. Mrs. Nye was often left in the log house with the children when her husband went to work, and quite frequently was she forced to fire a rifle off, to frighten off the wolves, who were prowling about, and prevent them from molesting the place.

He came with his family from Washington County, Pennsylvania, and located on the present site of Ellwood City, in 1793.
