General Notes: Husband - William Duffield


He came to the Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania, about 1760 and settled on the west Conococheague creek, near Mercersburg. He served with Col. Bouquet's expedition against the Indians in 1763-64, and in 1765 he was at the head of the men of Conococheague who were opposed to the conveyance of warlike goods to Fort Pitt for the Indians, but he refrained from violence and his place was taken by James Smith, the famous captain of the "Black Boys." Mr. Duffield was a member of the Pennsylvania Convention of 1776, and of the Assembly, 1776-77.
