FORWARD
We appreciate the opportunity to make a revised edition of the
history of Wilber C. Sisley's ancestors and descendants. We revised
the original edition to stop the main section at Wilber C. Sisley's
children. All side branches of the ancestors and descendents are now
listed on their own pages.

PREFACE
The following is not intended to be a great literary masterpiece
nor historical document, but rather something for the family to enjoy.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did collecting the information.
We started this venture when Papa became interested in Family
Histories about the time the Eberhart book was published in 1959. We
caught his enthusiasm and became addicted. Once we started we
couldn't stop. We have collected maps, tax records, census records,
lists and notes of all kinds. Whenever any of us came up with
something new, we compared notes and exchanged information. It is like
a jigsaw puzzle each little bit of information is kept and eventually
falls in place, even with some pieces left over.
We have visited libraries, courthouses and cemeteries from
Columbus, Ohio to Harrisburg, Pa. and from Pittsburgh to Meadville. We
have been locked in libraries, chased out of courthouses at closing
time and been covered with nettles and poison ivy in old cemeteries.
But we have met the nicest people. We have also written letters to
and received letters from people as far away as Oregon and Canada.
There are still many gaps in the

'In foord, in ham, in ley and tun,
The moste of English surnames run.'
Verstagan; Restitution - 1605
When surnames first came into use in England they appeared to
fall into four general classes. Local, such as Towns, Fields;
occupations, such as Smith or Cooper; from the first name of the
father, as Johnson or Robertson or descriptive, as Short or Brown.
Sisley or Sicely is listed as a British personal name. The name of the
martyred Saint Cecilio, patron saint of musicians and the blind, was
introduced into England by the Normans. It soon became very popular as
Cecely or Sisley.
In the early days in America, names of settlers from all
countries were changes by misspelling and carelessness in writing.
Many people could not spell their names and in saying them to others
the spelling became changed. An example of this may be found in 18th
century lists of foreigners who took the oath of allegiance in
Pennsylvania, published in the Pennsylvania Archives. There, the names
of settlers and boats in which they arrived are tabulated, Two lists
are given -- one is the original names and one apparently made by an
English speaking person from hearing the names spoken.
Before 1800 the name Sisley is found under a number of different
spellings. Records of Lewis and Jacob Sisley found in the
Pennsylvania Archives are spelled Sisley, Cisley, Sicley, Sissley and
Cissley. In the case of Perry Sisley the Coshocton County, Ohio Court
Records show in the index of marriage records -- Cissel; on the
marriage license -- Cissle; on his wife's death record -- Cisley; in
the 1860 Census his name was listed as Sicily and his death was
recorded as Sisley.
Where the Sisleys came from before they settled in Pennsylvania
we do not yet know. Some believe they came from Virginia or Maryland.
Others think they came from France. The only basis for the belief that
they came from France is the artist Alfred Sisley. Although there is
no known connection between his family and ours, an article, "The
Ancestry of Alfred Sisley" by Claude Sisley a second cousin of the
artist, published in the 'Burlington Magazine', Vol. 91; Sept. 1949,
is very interesting to read. The following in a brief outline of the
article.
'Very little seems to be known about the ancestry of Alfred
Sisley. In most books he is described as being the son of English
parents living in Paris, his father being a merchant trading with
South America. Sisley, it is true, was of English decent, but his
grandmother was a Frenchwoman and his English ancestors came from that
curious tract of country - Romney March.
Alfred Sisley's earliest recorded ancestor is Francis Sisley
(1748-1808), his great-grandfather. In 1770 he married Anna Chowning
of whom we know nothing. In the marriage register Francis Sisley is
Described as a husbandman, and elsewhere as a grazier - sheep farming
being an industry of Romney Marsh. But later he was actively engaged
in smuggling.
1
It has been said that the Sisleys were, in their way, a curious
family, coming from one of the oddest parts of England and being
essentially of peasant stock, It must be realized that much of Romney
Marsh lies below sea-level and owning to its reputation for being
unhealthy and "aguish' it was largely cut off from the rest of Kent.
For centuries the men of Romney Marsh had been engaged in smuggling
and its seafaring population was as much at home in the French ports
across the Channel as in England. There was apparently a good deal of
inter-marriage between the two races as there were people with French
names living on the Marsh. Thomas Sisley (1772-1819), grandfather of
Alfred Sisley, went to Dunkirk at an early age to supervise the
family's smuggling enterprises on that side of the Channel. Thomas
Sisley's various marriages were somewhat involved. A family tree shows
that he married, first, Francoise Felicite Dagneau. Contrary to the
custom that when a man marries a foreigner the children are given
Christian names of the father's country, Thomas' children were given
French Christian names. Alfred's farther was Guillaume. Does this mean
that there may have been some prier connection with France before the
time of Francis Sisley, or is it merely an example of the cosmopolitan
characteristics of the men of Romney Marsh, who were prepared to be
either English or French as it suited them? Alfred Sisley had one
brother and one son, neither of whom married, so his branch of the
Sisley tree died out.'
Family history and local history are closely related. When
tracing a family it is helpful to know something of the formation and
make-up of the various counties in Pennsylvania.
Bedford County was organized in 1771. Westmoreland was created
from Bedford on Feb. 26, 1773. It covered nearly one-fourth of the
entire state of Pennsylvania. Rostraver was one of the eleven original
townships. Washington County was the first to pull away from
Westmoreland, created on March 28, 1781.
Fayette County was next, created on Sept. 26, 1783. Washington
Township, one of the original twelve in Fayette County, included what
is now Jefferson and part of Perry. Before 1783 it was part of
Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County and at that time was bounded
by the Youghagheny and Monongahela Rivers and a straight line from the
mouth of Big Redstone Creek to a point on the Youghagheny opposite the
mouth of Jacobs Creek. Perry Township was incorporated in 1839,
Jefferson Township in 1840 and Cookstown and Belle Vernon in 1863.
Allegheny County was created on Sept. 24, 1788 from
Westmoreland and Washington Counties. Greene County followed on Feb.
9, 1796 from part of Washington County.
2
At this time both Pennsylvania and Virginia laid claim to the
southwestern part of Pennsylvania. The Virginia counties in
Pennsylvania were Yohogania, Donegal, Ohio and Monongalia. When the
dispute was settled, Yohogania and Donegal disappeared. Ohio and
Monongalia became Virginia counties.
Military and tax records are found in the Pennsylvania Archives
and some old tax records of Fayette County may be found at the
courthouse at Uniontown. Because of the dispute between Pennsylvania
and Virginia at this time, many old Pennsylvania records may be found
in Wheeling or Morgantown, West Virginia or even Richmond, Virginia.
On some of these tax records a man may be listed as an "inmate"
or in other words a renter, An "unseated" landowner was a non-resident
landowner. Some are listed as 'freemen". Such a man would be over 21,
single and therefore taxed. To get off the tax list he took a wife. If
he was married and owned no land, horse nor cow he disappeared from
the tax list.
There were two kinds of military service. The Pennsylvania Line,
a volunteer group which fought mostly in the east against the British,
and the Pennsylvania Militia. Every able-bodied man between 18 and 53
had to be enrolled in the Militia. Each Company was formed from a
geographical area or township. You can usually tell the area by
comparing the names in the Militia with those on the tax lists.
Other sources of information in the Pennsylvania Archives are the
Land Grants, the Warrantee lists. During the land rush in the 1760's
the government in Philadelphia issued 'survey orders'. Many people
thought this was a land title until someone else came along and got
the warrant. After the warrant was issued the land had to be surveyed
and then a patent was issued. The Patent was the final title. Thus
the patent holder was not always the settler who first claimed the
land.
The census records are a good source of information but not
always complete or accurate. From 1790 to 1840 they listed only the
name of the head of the family. From 1850 the names and ages of the
family were listed along with any persons living with the family
including servants.
The first Sisley we found in Pennsylvania was Jacob Sissly paying
a state tax in Mountjoy Township, Lancaster County in 1773, taxed for
27 acres, 1 horse and 1 cow.
We next found Jacob Sisley in southwestern Pennsylvania on the
west side of the Monongahela River in what was later Allen Township.
There is a petition in the National Archives (about 1775-1780),
signed by 2000 persons from southwestern Pennsylvania and western
Virginia, asking for the formation of a new state, because they were
tired of the dispute between the two states. The idea was dropped when
the Revolutionary war settled the matter. Among the names on the
partition were Benjamen, Jacob, Jacob Sr. and Lewis Cicily.
3
There is no other record of Jacob Sr. nor Benjamen. I might say
here that many times in old records the term Jr. and Sr. did not
always signify father and son. If there were two men with the same
name they used this way of identifying which was which. I believe that
Jacob Sr. was the father of Jacob, Lewis and Benjamen. We know that
Jacob was the father of a later Lewis.
Jacob and Lewis Cissley were in the 5th Class of Capt. James
Hopkins Company of the 5th Battalion of Washington County Militia,
Commanded by Col. Crooks, April 25, 1782. Men of this Battalion were
taken from what later became Allen and Fallowfield Townships,
Washington County.
We have often wondered if this Battalion was with Col. Wm.
Crawford on the 'Expedition to Sandusky'. April 4th to June 14, 1782
is the period of time when the disastrous 'Expedition' was planned and
carried out. There is no roll or roster known to exist, but on Dec. 8,
1789, Richard Hopkins, one of the men in the 4th Class of Capt. James
Hopkins Co. at that time, was paid 4 pounds for a horse lost in this
expedition.
A Class drafted and ordered to rendezvous, 6th of Sept. 1782, to
Col. Edward Cook, Westmoreland County, received payment for services
rendered in defense of the frontiers of Westmoreland, Lewis Cisley was
in this group as well as several men in the previous group, but not
Jacob Sisley.
It was about this time that the Sisley's moved across the river,
Lewis to the Belle Vernon area and Jacob to Freeport, later Cookstown
and now Fayette City.
One of the first grocery stores in the Mon Valley was operated by
a man named David Furnier at a site on "Spears Run" between Belle
Vernon and Gibsonton. The entire concern was known as "The Barter
Mills". Many of the names on the books were familiar pioneer settlers.
They included McLaughlin, Shepler, McCoy, Cissley, Speers, Ellis,
Cook, Patterson, Springer, Frye, Crawford and many others.
Lewis Cisley was the first to be buried in the first burial
ground intended for Belle Vernon on Gould's Hill, now known as East
Belle Vernon or Seldom Seen. The date is unknown.
The following is a Bill of Sale found in the Westmoreland County
Court Records at Greenburg, Pa.

The above is the only records of land transactions found in the
name of Jacob Sisley.
In the Deed Books of Fayette County at Uniontown are records of
land transactions in the name of Lewis Cissely and Lewis Sisley.
There are three men by the name of Lewis Sisley involved in these
various purchases. More about these later.
We will attempt to trace the descendants of Jacob Sisley the best
we can with the information we have. Each generation is indicated with
a letter and the children in a family with a letter and a number.

JACOB CISLEY -- Settled on the Monongahela River in what is now
Washington County Pennsylvania in about 1774. No other record.
A1 Jacob
A2 LEWIS
A3 Benjemin -- no other record
A4 William Sisslee -- This man paid a State Tax in Pitt Twn.,
Westmoreland County in 1786. So far we have made no attempt to
trace this man's family.
A1 JACOB SISLEY - Jacob and Lewis were taxed as single men in 1786.
They could be Jacob and his son or his brother. Jacob's wife was named
Jane. He was a cooper (barrel maker) by trade. There must have been a
great need for coopers because of the number of distilleries in the
vicinity.
Jacob moved across the river into Washington Township where in
1783, he sold to Peter Keller a ferryboat canoe and seventy-five acres
of land. He lived in Washington Twn. until 1800 when he was listed on
the tax list as - gone. Where? Perhaps to Ohio.
B1 LEWIS SISLEY -- A family record owned by Robert Sisley shows
Lewis Sisley, son of Jacob and Jane Sisley and Margaret, daughter
of Nathan and Mary Ellis married on Nov. 14, 1788. Lewis born in
Pennsylvania, July 22 1765, died Feb. 14 1826. Margaret born in
Maryland Dec. 13, 1773 died Feb. 13, 1870. (This looks like 1810
but records show she was still living in 1860 at 87 years of age.)
They are both buried at Rehobeth Cemetery.
Lewis spent most of his life in Washington Township. In 1801 he
bought from John Seward, 175 acres called "Sewardton" adjoining
Cookstown which he laid out in lots. This plot was for years, known
as Sisleytown.
In March 1808 he bought from Thomas Strawn 77 acres of a plot
called "Content" along Lambs Lick Run where he build a Sawmill.
Lewis died intestate on Feb. 14, 1826. In June 1827, Morgan Morgan
petitioned the court for the appointment of a guardian for Amberson
Sisley, under 14 and Wilson Sisley, over 14. William D. Mullin was
appointed.
Margaret Sisley filed a petition on March 15, 1828 as Administrator
of the Estate of Lewis, late of Washington Twn. for the sale of
property in the vicinity of Cooktown. The sale was held May 12,
1828.
6
Before his death Lewis Sisley agreed to sell to James McCrory, Lot #21
in "Sewardton". In 1835 this deed was signed by Margaret Sisley and
her children with their husbands or wives. Wilson signed for himself
and W. D. Mullin for Amberson.
After the death of Lewis, Margaret lived the rest of her life with
Amberson.

Allenport, Washington Co., over 100 years ago. Their son has in
his possession as relics, the Sisley 'conch shell' bearing the
date 1806. At that time a conch shell was used as a horn to
sound a warning in times of danger. Wilson McCrory also has the
old indentures - over a century old - by which his father was
bound to work three years for about two pounds sterling, three
months schooling and a "freedom suit" (from 'Cyclopedia of
Fayette Co.' by Greshem & Co. Publishers, 1889). Hester McCrory
died in 1899 at the age of 104.

A2 LEWIS CISLEY -- We believe this man is the father of Samuel, John
and Jacob Sisley for several reasons. We hope to check this further
someday. Lewis Cisley owned property and was buried in the Belle
Vernon area; his son Jacob lived close to the county line between
Westmoreland and Fayette Counties near Belle Vernon and the name Lewis
runs through the families of these men.
In the Deed Books of Fayette County at Uniontown are records of
land transactions in the names of Lewis Cissely and Lewis Sisley.
There are three men by the name Lewis Sisley involved in these
purchases. Three deeds in particular we would like to check more
thoroughly, that we believe belongs to the first Lewis.
Item No. 439, Book B, Page 274 -- To Lewis Sisley from John
Owning (Owens) 52 acres called "Addition" situated on the Monongahela
River in Westmoreland County when granted, now in Fayette County.
John Owens, on the 18th day of May 1793 received of Lewis Sisley the
sum of one hundred and five pounds. This is the same plot of land that
according to history, on which Noah Speers founded Belle Vernon. It
was given him by his father, Henry Speers, who obtained it by purchase
from John Cockey Owens to whom the state granted a patent on May 17,
1791.
Item No. 554, Book C, Page 1238 -- In 1796 Lewis Cissely brought
from Joseph Chester, who bought it from Ignatius Jones, 137 acres, a
place called "Jones Folly". This land was subject to one-fifth of all
gold and silver ore for the use of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
to be delivered at the pit's mouth free of charge. In 1812 he obtained
a 'release' from George Hogg on a promise to buy 31 acres of this land
which he then sold to London Darry. This land would be along the river
between Belle Vernon and Fayette City.

B1 SAMUEL SISLEY (born about 1771-1814)
From the History of Crawford Co. -- 'Among the list of settlers
of Crawford County, prior to 1804 were John and Samuel Sisley who
were brothers. The latter was a 'cooper' by trade and settled on
Tract 33. (This is in East Fallowfield Township -- east of the town
of Atlantic). During his last sickness the nearest physician
resided at Meadville and Mr. Sisley expired before medical aid
could reach him.'
Samuel Sisley was taxed in Washington Township, Fayette Co. as a
cooper. He left there in 1798. He went to Fallowfield Township in
Crawford County, where, in 1801, he owned four hundred acres and
two cows. When he died on Jan. 26, 1814, Joe Mattock and John
Sisley were named administrators for his estate. The estate was
settled and the property sold on Dec. 11, 1816.
Samuel Sisley was married and had three boys and two girls.

Co., Pa. before 1800. In 1801 he owned 400 acres, 2 oxen and two

From The Crawford Weekley Messenger of March 10, 1813.
"Notice - Whereas John Sisley obtained from the subscriber dated
the 23rd day of Feb. last past, one for the payment of thirty
dollars on or before the first of May next, the other for ten
dollars or twenty gallons of whiskey, to be paid on the 25th day
of Dec. next. These are, therefore, to forewarn all persons from
taking assignments of said obligations, as I am determined not
to pay the same until the said Sisley fulfills an article of
agreement for which the said obligations were given.
John Findley
Fallowfield Twn., March 3, 1813”
John Sisley was in the Pennsylvania Militia under Gen. David Mead,
at Fort Erie from July 23 to Aug. 9, 1813. He published a notice of
insolvency on March 8, 1827. He died in South Shenango in 1843. On
Jan. 24, 1844, Lewis Sisley and Joseph Sharp were appointed
administrators of his estate. On Dec. 30, 1844 Joe Sharp denounced
Lewis Sisley on mismanaging the estate. No results were given as to
the outcome.
John Sisley had seven children in the 1820 Census, 3 boys and 4
girls. Two of the boys were John and Lewis. John and his wife Mary
(Betts) Sisley settled in Kinsman Twn., Trumbull Co., Ohio in about
1855.

B2 JACOB SISLEY - born in Pennsylvania (1773-1834) married Margaret
Morgan, born in Pennsylvania (1782-1865), daughter of William and
Brittie Morgan of Westmoreland County. They were married about
1798. They lived in Washington Twp., Fayette Co. until 1815, when
they moved to Rostraver Twp., Westmoreland Co., where in 1825,
Perry H. age 10 and John Sisley age 8, children of Jacob and
Margaret Sisley, were listed as poor children to be educated by the
County.
We had believed that Jacob died in 1827 but he was listed in
the 1830 census of Washington Twp. with his wife and two sons,
(Perry and John). Jacob evidently died in about 1834 as Margaret
was listed in the 1835 tax returns as a widow with a horse and a
cow. In the 1840 census Margaret and her two sons were still in
Fayette County.
Margaret went to Bedford Twp., Coshocton Co. Ohio with her son
Perry. We do not know if John went with them. She died there in
1865. Jacob and Margaret had seven children, five boys and two
girls. They had one daughter in 1800 who may have died young.

this family's record begins on page 16
C6 Perry H. Sisley (1815-1888) married Eliza A. Ogle (1853-1886)
The first information we found of Perry Sisley was in the
"History of Coshocton County, Ohio" by N.N. Hill, Jr. 1881.
Later information and records checked, proved some of this
information wrong. Since these histories were written on a
subscription basis they were written, of course, to please the
subscriber. The following is a corrected version.
Perry Sisley, a farmer of Bedford Twp., Coshocton Co., Ohio,
address Tunnel Hill, was born in Westmoreland Co., Pa.. He moved
to Ohio with his mother sometime before 1859. His mother died in
1865.
Perry Cissle married Eliza A. Ogle, on March 8, 1870. Eliza
A. Cisley died of consumption Jan. 7, 1886. Perry Sisley died

Sarah Layton (1775-1857). Morgan and Hannah are both buried in
the old cemetery in Perryopolis bounded by Union, Lafayette and
Federal Streets.
Morgan was a farmer for many years but the latter part of
his life was spent in keeping the Perry Hotel in Perryopolis.
He sold the hotel property to George Layton in 1881. He was a
taxpayer in Jefferson Township when it was incorporated in 1840.
They evidently still did their shopping in Cookstown for he was
a customer on the books of E. Martin's store, charged $1.60 for
an English History book in 1849. In a "Directory of Fayette Co.,
1872" - by G. M. Hopkins, Pittsburgh, is a map of Perryopolis
showing a number of lots in the name of Morgan Sisley.
Morgan sold a lot in Perryopolis in 1858, to Caleb
Jeffries. Said lot being next of that of Izaac Martin.
Witnessed by Hezakiah Goe. Signed by Morgan and Hannah Sisley.
The family then went to Coshocton County, Ohio, where he
rented a farm next to his brother Perry H.. They stayed only one
season, however, returning to Fayette County in 1859 when the
crops were frozen in June of that year. According to "History of
Westmoreland County" by Boucher. The people woke on the morning
of June fifth to find all vegetation totally destroyed. The year
of 1859 become known as the 'Year of the Frost', although
actually it was a regular freeze. It covered an area from the
northwestern lakes southward through Indiana and Ohio, crossing
western Pennsylvania and into Maryland and northern Virginia.
It did not extend beyond the Allegheny Mountains or south of the
Ohio River. All fields of grain were plowed up and sowed in
buckwheat. Others were planted in potatoes.
16
When Morgan died in 1882 he left to his daughter Sarah Jane
Goe, two lots in Perryopolis on Olive Street on the south and
Erie Street. A two story house and frame stable. The property
was conveyed to Pierson Cope by sheriff deed on June 9, 1852; to

Sisley, 1864; John to his wife Hannah J. to Thomas Herwick,

On the following pages are some of the side branches of the
Sisley’s tree. Since many of the following families were all born
and raised in the Perry Township area, it might be well to know
something of the origin of Perryopolis.
Perryopolis, Fayette County, Pennsylvania is thirteen miles
north of Uniontown and about one-half mile west of the Youghiogheny
River. The town plan was designed by Thomas Burns, Thomas and
Nathan Hersey and Samuel Shreve. It is in the shape of a wheel
with Washington Diamond as the hub and the streets the spokes.
There are eight triangular lots that were set aside for the public
use. The street names are from the Revolutionary War period, such
as Independence, Liberty, Federal, Concord, Union, Hancock,
Randalph, La Fayette etc. The town was first known as New Boston
but after Oliver Hazard Perry's victory at Lake Erie, the name was
changed to Perryopolis. The Charter was filed in the recorders
office on March 18,1814. Recorded and Compared May 3, 1837.

ALICE (ALLIS) MARTIN was first married to Georg(e) Clarke on Jan. 22,
1638/9
The "Records of the Colony of New Plymouth in New England" edited
by Nathaniel B. Shurtleff (Boston 1855), volume two of Court Orders
(1641-1651) contains the following:
II:132 Court session held at New Plymouth on 1 August 1648. On 22
July 1648 a committee was sworn by Governor William Bradford "to make
inquiry of the death of the child of Allis Bishop, the wife of Richard
Bishope." Their report stated that they had found blood on the floor
at the foot of the ladder what lead to the upper chamber in the Bishop
house, and that in the upper chamber they found the body of a female
child, about four years of age, with her throat cut several times. In
addition they found the knife, and reported that Mrs. Bishop confessed
to five members (all at the same time) of the twelve-man jury that she
had killed her child. The child's body had originally been discovered
by one Rachel Ramsden, the twenty-three year old wife of Joseph
Ramsden. Mrs. Ramsden had told her parents of her discovery and very
shortly the law was after Mrs. Bishop.
II:134 Two months later, at the Court held at Plymouth on 4 October
1648, Alice Bishop was indicted "for felonius murder by her comited
upon Martha Clark, her owne child, the frute of her own body." The
Grand Jury of seventeen men found a true bill, and immediately
following the petit jury of twelve men found her guilty of the murder.
She then "had the sentence of death pronounced against her, viz., to
bee taken from the place where shee was to the place from whence shee
came, and thence to the place of execution, and there to be hanged by
the necke vntell her body is dead, which acordingly was executed."
Very likely she was executed almost immediately. There is no mention
in the records that the execution took place in Daxbury, but even so
the delay would not have been very long.
II:137-138 On the following 6 March 1648/9 Richard Bishop was
presented at court in Plymouth for stealing a spade belonging to one
Andrew Ring. He was judged guilty, and sentenced to both sit in the
stocks and also replace the spade with a new one prior to the June
General Court, or be whipped. He had not complied with the court order
by 1 May 1649. That same court ordered that one John Churchill of
Plymouth was to sell or lease the property of the late George Clark
for the benefit of his daughter Abigail Clark.
28
A more exact copy of the Plymouth Colony Records - Court ordersVolume I, pages 132, 3 & 4 follows (with current spelling):
(.175) These shown, that on July the 22th, 1648, we whose names are
underwritten, were sworn by Mr. Bradford, governor, to make inquiry of
the death of the child of Allis Bishop, the wife of Richard Bishope.
We declare that coming into the house of the said Richard Bishope
we saw at the foot of a ladder that led into an upper chamber, much
blood; and going up all of us into the chamber, was found a dead woman
child, of about four years of age, lying in her shift upon her left
cheek, with her throat cut with divers gashes cross ways, the wind
pipe out and stuck into the throat downward, and a bloody knife lying
by the side of the child, with which knife all of us judged, and the
said Allis hath confessed to five of us at one time, that she murdered
the child with the said knife.

Rachell, wife of Josepth Ramsden, age about 23 years, being
examined, said that coming to the house of Richard Bishop upon an
errand, the wife of the said Richard Bishope requested her to go fetch
her some buttermilk at Goodwife Winslows, and gave her a kettle for
that purpose, and she went and did it; and before she went, she saw
the child lying abed asleep, to her best decerning and the woman was
as well as she had known her at any time; but when she came she found
her sad and dumpish; she asked her what blood was that she saw at the
ladders foot; she pointed unto the chamber, and bid her look, but she
persisted she had killed her child, and being afraid, she refused, and
ran and told her father and mother. Moreover, she said the reason that
moved her to think she had killed her child was that when she saw the
blood she looked on the bed, and the child was not there.

EBERHART
JOHN ADAM EBERHART
Andrew Eberhart (1732-1799)
George Eberhart (1732?-1806)
Martin Luther Eberhart (died 1792)
ADOLPHUS EBERHART (Jan. 4, 1760-1828), came to this country from
Karlsruhw, Baden, Germany. He married SOPHIA SPEELMAN (Feb. 7,
1770), daughter of DAVID and ELIZABETH (BRANDENBURG) SPEELMAN,
on Jan. 11, 1787, at Frederick, Maryland. He served in the
Revolutionary War as a private. After the war he returned to his
trade of glass-blowing.
Adolphus and his brother Martin and several friends went to
Frederick, Maryland where they worked at the new Glass House at New
Bremen, a small typical German Community established by John
Frederick Amalung, a native of Bramen, Germany. The project failed
and was offered for sale in 1795.
After the failure of the Amelung Glass Works, a group of the
best glass workers moved to New Geneva, Fayette County, Pa. where,
in partnership with Albert Gallatin, they built the New Geneva
Glass Works. Gallatin was a member of the United State House of
Representatives from 1795-1800. He was Secretary of the Treasury
under Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, from 18011813. He helped negotiate the treaty of peace with England
following the Was of 1812 and served as Minister to France, 18151823.
Gallatin's duties kept him in Washington more and more so he
decided in 1803 to dispose of his half interest in Glass House. It
was bid in by Christian and Baltzer Kramer, John Gabler, George
Rappert and Adolph Eberhart. In 1817 they dismantled the old
furnace and built a new one across the Monongahela River near
Greensburg. It has been claimed that these men were the pioneers of
the glass manufacture, not only in Green County, but also in
western Pennsylvania.

The land on which Layton Station in situated was a track called
"Springfield", patented in 1791 to Mary Higgs, containing 217 acres.
Abraham Layton bought a portion of this land in 1821 for $2353.00.
After his death, his sons, Michael and Abraham II, built keel-boats to
ship sand and glass down the river.
After the death of their father in 1852 and the sale of the lands
at Layton Station, Michael Layton purchased a tract south of the
river. It is a tradition that before the warrant was obtained for this
land, Michael Sowers lived in an old cabin and ferried people across
the river. After his death a man named Dun lived in the cabin. He was
drowned a few years later and the place was long known as "Dun's Deep
Hole", but was changed to "Layton" after the purchase by Abraham
Layton. There were at one time hundred of graves back of where the
cabin stood.
