General Notes: Husband - William Denniston

---

He sailed from Ireland in 1774, and a short time after landing in America enlisted as a soldier in the war of the Revolution. After peace was declared he settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and married. A few years later they moved to Allegheny County, and settled on Chartiers creek, on the old Neville farm, so famous as the scene of the Whisky Insurrection.

In the year 1827 three of the sons-Samuel, Joseph and William-purchased the Jacob Long farm in Peters township, Washington County, whither they moved with their parents.
