Note

Note: Came to Pennsylvania, U.S. in 1784

When she was six years old an epidemic swept over Edinburgh and four daughters and a brother died from it. His wife became quite sick and doctors said she must travel for her health, so they decided to sell everything he had, excetpt hishousehold goods, and go to America where the new scenes of that country would help his wife forget the sorrows of Edinburgh.

When they left home, they went first to Glasgow to say goodbye to their many friends and relatives, then on to Greenwich where they were to get a boat for America. After waiting two weeks they finally got aboard, and then learned that the ship was sailing for Belfast, Ireland, to pick u part of its cargo. While crossing the Irish Sea they ran into a violent storm that nearly wrecked the ship. After nine months in Belfast, due to his wife's continued illness they took ship in the "Irish Volunteer" and after a voyage of ten weeks they arrived in Philadelphia in 1783. There another child was born.

From there they traveled overland to Fort Pitt and then floated down the Ohio River to "Mingo Bottom". In the fall of 1785 they reached their new home of Fort Belleville, Virginia (now WV)

Founding Of Belleville, WV

In 1785, William Tilden, President of William Tilton and Company, a mercantile firm of Philadelphia[15] with extensive land holdings along the Ohio River, to include the Belleville land tract purchased from Washington, entered into a business agreement with Joseph Wood of Pittsburg. Wood was contracted to act as a land agent for the company and recruit prospective settlers. A colonizing expedition left Pittsburg in the Fall of 1785 with the two men, four Scotch pioneer families from Pennsylvania,[16] and several hired hands, and sailed down the Ohio River landing in present-day Belleville on December 16, 1785. They constructed a block house surrounded by a stockade and over the course of the next year cleared over 100 acres of land for cultivation, built several cabins, and named their new settlement Belleville. The 1785 settlers included James Pewthewer, William Ingals, David Jemerson (Jamison), Andrew McCash, Francis Andrews, and a Mr. McDonal, Mr. Greathouse, Mr. Tabor (Taylor), and Thomas Gilruth.[17][18]
