General Notes: Husband - John Carmichael

---

The Carmichael family was originally from Scotland and John fought under Gen. Wolfe, and is believed to be the third man to climb the Heights of Abraham in the battle of Quebec in 1759. He went to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, soon after this struggle. He was married there and about 1797 he went with his two sons, Duncan and John, to Mercer County and settled on a tract of land in Worth Township. He and his family were the first Carmichaels to come to Mercer County.

John Carmichael, a Scotchman, who, drafted into the British army, served under Wolfe at Quebec in 1759, lived in Worth Township, whither as an old man he accompanied his sons in 1802. [HMC 1888, 297]

The family is of Scotch origin, and the first to immigrate to America was John Carmichael, Sr., a soldier in the British army, who served with Wolfe in his gallant assault upon Quebec. He became deaf from the tremendous din of that engagement. [HMC 1888, 622]

He came from the Highlands of Scotland to Canada with General Wolfe, who died in his arms after the brilliant victory on the Plains of Abraham in 1755, ending the rule of France forever in North America. John did not return to Scotland, but came to the United Colonies instead and espoused the cause of American liberty in the War of the Revolution. He served through that struggle with conspicuous gallantry as an officer on the patriot side, and when it closed he settled with his family, consisting of a wife and two sons, John and Duncan, in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, making his abode in Worth Township.
