General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Coleman
He was a native of Ireland, and migrated to America when a young man, locating in the Conococheaque valley in Pennsylvania. [HIC 1880, 360]
He was a native of Scotland, and emigrated to America when a young man. His first location was in the Conococheague valley, in Pennsylvania, where he married. In 1773 they moved west of the Allegheny mountains, settling in what is now Conemaugh township, Indiana (then Westmoreland) County. Taking up land, he built a log cabin in what was then a wilderness and located there in 1774 or 1775. After he had done some clearing and sowed his second crop of wheat he was driven off by the Indians, and returned to the Conococheague valley, where he remained seven years before venturing to return to his land. He found that his cabin had been burned, the land that he had cleared was covered with a new growth of brush, and the various effects he had buried for safe keeping were missing-at any rate he never found them. But he set to work again to develop a farm from the primitive surroundings, and spent the remainder of his life there, dying at his home. [HIC 1913, 966]
