General Notes: Husband - James Pinkerton

---

After the Revolutionary war, in which he served as a soldier, he immigrated to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, settling on the banks of the Sewickley creek, about two miles above Bell's Mills. He was a blacksmith, and his old account book, which was long in the possession of his family, indicated that he located there about 1783. He made annual trips to Carlisle to pack over the supplies necessary to carry on his business. He owned a farm on Sewickley creek that later belonged to the Westmoreland Coal Company. In religious belief he was a seceder, an elder in his church, of which he was one of the organizers. It was later called the "Old Sewickley" United Presbyterian.

He had a family of five sons and four daughters, all born in Sewickley township except two.
