Susanna ( Mrs. John King), John, Daniel, Sol- Myers was born Dec. 22, 1855, in what was omon, Frederick, Robert, Margaret, Elizabeth and Jacob.
In the assessment list of Allegheny town- ship, 1805-06, we find the following, indicating that the persons named were then residing (and had perhaps for several years before re- sided) within the present limits of Kittanning township: Peter Hileman, 200 acres, one horse, two cattle, $170 in 1805, and $180 in 1806; John Hileman, single man, $5 in 1806; Daniel Hileman, single man. Christopher and Adam Oury, and Adam, Jacob and Peter Wal- tenbough, also appear in the list. In 1849-50 John Hileman was assessed with a sawmill, and thereafter Daniel Hileman-probably the one near the schoolhouse, on a run flowing southeast into the west branch of Cherry run. The Hilemans in the early days were evidently also engaged in distilling, the "Hile- man" whiskey being regarded as a good qual- ity among good judges.
Daniel Heilman, one of the sons of Peter who settled in what is now Kittanning town- ship in 1795, married Lydia Yount, and their children were: Solomon (father of Mrs. John G. Aye and Mrs. Levi G. Cook), Daniel, George (who married Henrietta Hengst and left children), Samuel, Isaac, Simon, Harry, Eve (married Harry Shafer), Lydia (Mrs. George Eiman), Susie and Elizabeth (both de- ceased in childhood). The father farmed in Kittanning township until his death, which occurred in 1832, when he was fifty years old. Solomon Heilman, son of Daniel, was born in Kittanning township. He married Eliza- beth Schreckengost, daughter of Benjamin and Susanna (Oury) Schreckengost, and. they had children as follows: Benjamin died in childhood; Levi never married; Abraham married Mary Cook, sister of Levi G. Cook, of Bethel township; Mary married Levi G. Cook; Katherine A. is the wife of John G. Aye, of Bethel township; Lewis married Jen- nie Walker (who was a school teacher for eighteen years) and they reside on the old homestead place of Solomon Heilman, in Kit- tanning township; Daniel died when a young man, unmarried; Uriah Oury, M. D., of Leechburg, married Essie Heckman.
then known as Allegheny township, Arm- strong county, son of Henry and Elizabeth (Darbaker) Myers. He is of German descent in both lines, and his paternal great-grand- father, the first of the Myers to come to this country from Germany, was a soldier in the war of the Revolution and a pioneer in West- moreland county, Pennsylvania.
David Myers, son of the emigrant ancestor, and grandfather of Jacob A. Myers, was born in Westmoreland county, and married Eliza- beth Klingensmith.
Henry Myers, son of David, died Nov. 4, 1906. He married Elizabeth Darbaker, who was born March 7, 1825, on the ocean, en route from Amsterdam, Holland, to America, daughter of John Joseph and Elizabeth ( Paulsgroff) Darbaker. She survives Mr. Myers. They were the parents of seven chil- dren, six sons and one daughter, namely : Lizzie, wife of A. M. Claypoole, living in Canton, Ohio (they have three children) ; Jacob A .; David H., late of Vandergrift, Pa., who died in July, 1913; John E., who is in Florida; William F., of Apollo, Armstrong Co., Pa .; Harry S., of Canton, Ohio; and Jonathan O., who died in 1887.
Jacob A. Myers has spent all his life in this part of Armstrong county. He received his education there in the public schools, and has followed farming, but has not given all his attention to agriculture, much of his time be- ing taken up with his public duties. On May I, 1884, he became a justice of the peace, and he has served in that capacity continu- ously since-a period of over twenty-nine years. He has been a member of the town- ship board of school directors for twenty- nine years, and was the first tax collector of the township elected under the new law- twenty-one years ago-and is still serving. He has held several other local offices, having been supervisor as well as school director thirty consecutive years. Mr. Myers has from young manhood been an active worker in the Democratic party, and he is at present serv- ing as committeeman.
On April 7, 1892, Mr. Myers was married to Lilly Elliott, of Armstrong county, daugh- ter of Dr. A. J. and Melinda (Carnahan) El- liott, of Armstrong county, Pa., and they have had a family of six children, namely: Cleo; Cloyd, who is eighteen years of age; Jacob, fourteen ; Ethel, eleven; Elliott, nine; and Frantz, five.

JACOB A. MYERS, EsQ., is one of the oldest officials of Burrell township, Armstrong county, and one of its most influential citizens. His faithful discharge of the duties of every trust with which he has been honored is the best indication of his ability and fitness, and his long continuance in office shows how well bers of the Methodist Church at Cochran his services have been appreciated.

After commencing work he followed farming for several years, during which time he also taught public school for four terms. In 1868 he came to Kittanning and entered the employ of James E. Brown. For several months he was engaged in superintending wharfing, as- sisting in the surveying of lands, etc., and then for eighteen months was clerk in what was known as the old iron store on Water street, Kittanning, carried on in connection with the Kittanning woolen mills.

Seceder Church, and became one of the promi- nent and influential clergymen of that denomi- nation in his day. He was for many years pastor of the Mount Hope Seceder Church in Washington county, and he is buried in the Mount Hope cemetery. He died about 1840. His wife, whose maiden name was Henderson, was of Washington county, and they became the parents of nine children that grew to ma- turity. Mrs. Allison survived her husband for several years.
Thomas Henderson Allison was born June 29, 1820, near West Middletown, Washington Co., Pa. After receiving his primary educa- tion in a subscription school he attended Florence Academy, and later Franklin Col- lege, at New Athens, Ohio. He began the study of medicine under Dr. A. C. Hamilton, of West Middletown, and in 1854 was gradu- ated from Jefferson Medical College, after which he began practice at Murrysville, Pa. Remaining there a little over a year, he re- moved thence to Elderton, Armstrong Co., Pa., where he was located until the summer of 1862. At that time he became acting assist- ant surgeon at the Hammond general hospital at Point Lookout, Md. During the invasion of the State of Pennsylvania Dr. Allison was commissioned surgeon, and he was with the 29th Pennsylvania Emergency Regiment. On resuming private practice in 1867 he settled at Kittanning, Armstrong county, where he remained for over a quarter of a century, and he was not only foremost in his profession in this section but thoroughly associated with lo- cal interests in various other connections as well. For a number of years he served as United States examining surgeon for pensions, was for many years surgeon of the Allegheny Valley Railway Company, was a member of the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and a member of the Armstrong County Medical Society. Becoming interested in fine stock farming he introduced into Armstrong county at an early day some high-class Jersey and Aberdeen Angus cattle, as well as Spanish Merino, Shropshire and Dorset Horned sheep, and he belonged to the American Jersey Cat- tle Club, the American Shropshire Sheep Rec- ord Association, the American Aberdeen Angus Association and the Dorset Horned Sheep Association. His interest in public affairs led him into taking part in the local government, and he served three years as president of the Kittanning council. For sev- eral years he was president of the Allegheny Valley Bank. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and was an honor-
able member of the Bankers' and Bank Clerks' Mutual Benefit Association of Pittsburgh, Pa. For many years he was a member of the M. E. Church.
On Sept. 24, 1843, Dr. Allison married Mary Margaret McFadden, and of the chil- dren born to them, three, two sons and one daughter, died in childhood from malignant diphtheria. The third child, Adele, grew to womanhood and died in California in 1866, while on a visit there, from typhoid fever. Laura Ione married James S. Moore, of Buf- falo, N. Y., now deceased, who was a soldier in the Civil war; Thomas Mütter completes the family.
Thomas McFadden, grandfather of Mrs. Mary Margaret (McFadden) Allison, was a native of Ireland, and spent all his life in that country. His son James McFadden was born in County Down, Ireland, and was about four- teen years old when he came to the United States. He settled at Washington, Pa., and in after years became a successful merchant. He married Margaret Stewart, and they reared a family of ten children, Mary Mar- garet, who married Dr. Thomas H. Allison, being the third in order of birth.
Galbraith Stewart, father of Mrs. Margaret (Stewart) McFadden,' was born Dec. 26, 1766, in America, and was named Galbraith in honor of his maternal grandmother, Re- becca Galbraith. The warm blood of Irish patriots coursed through the veins of this pioneer, a worthy representative of his race.
He learned the blacksmith's trade, and in early manhood, on April 7, 1791, married Elizabeth Scott, a native of Scotland, then a resident of Mount Hope, Washington Co., Pa., the younger of two children born to Richard and Elinor Scott, of Scotland. She was of pure highland Scotch blood, her parents coming from influential clans. Her father's brother was Thomas Scott, the well known Episcopal clergyman and Bible commentator. Richard Scott was born in 1731 in Scotland, and his wife Elinor was born in 1733. They left their native land for America, bringing with them their son John, born in 1762, and daughter Elizabeth, born Oct. 31, 1768. The voyage had a sad ending, Richard Scott being drowned in landing at Nova Scotia. His wife survived only until 1775, thus leaving the children orphaned at an early age. Most of the family treasure was lost in a fire, the only thing saved being a piece of linen which was probably being worn by Elizabeth the day of the fire. This piece of linen, embroid- ered with the family crest, she preserved.

United States Senator Nathan B. Scott, of has continued his active professional life West Virginia, who was a descendant of this branch of the Scott family, has in his posses- sion a sleeve button which was worn by the Richard Scott who brought his family to America; the Senator also remembers being shown a napkin with the crest of Richard Scott's family embroidered thereon. Eliza- beth Scott was brought to Pennsylvania by an uncle, and there grew to womanhood.
Galbraith Stewart secured a large tract of land lying north of the present site of West Middletown, of which town he was practically the founder, and after his marriage erected a shop and the first cabin at that point. It was on the north side of the road much traveled by emigrants for Ohio county, Va., and was for some time the only building in the neigh- borhood. Thus there was plenty of work for the smith, and as time passed the place be- came a stopping point for westward bound emigrants, so much so that Mr. Stewart erected a commodious house for the accom- modation of travelers. In time he gave up his work in the blacksmith shop as his du- ties in the tavern increased. He prospered. erected several other buildings, and thus formed the nucleus of what has since become West Middletown. Eleven children were born to this union, ten of whom reached ma- turity, three sons and seven daughters, namely : William married Mary Cummins; Benjamin married Elizabeth Acheson; Gal- braith married Phoebe Mckeever; Eleanor married Thomas Boon ; Mary married Thomas McCall; Eliza married Dr. David Adams ; Margaret married James McFadden; Re- becca married David McKennen; Harriet married George Pentecost; Clarissa, who never married, was the last survivor of the family (she lived in Ohio).
without interruption to the present, and he has a most extensive patronage. In point of years of practice he is now among the oldest physicians of the county. His son and son-in- law (F. C. Monks, M. D.) also are medical practitioners of Kittanning, and all enjoy a high standing that keeps them busy in the borough and vicinity. Few citizens of this section have won their way more thoroughly into the confidence of their fellow men than has Dr. Allison. He is a member of the Arm- strong County Medical Society, and of the Pennsylvania State Medical Society. He served several years as president and secre- tary of the county organization, and is now its treasurer. The Doctor has always been particularly interested in the subject of pub- lic education, has served as member of the borough school board, and has been member of the borough council. For several years he was United State examining surgeon for pen- sions.
On Dec. 24, 1875, Dr. Allison married Mar- garet Acheson, daughter of William Acheson, of Kittanning, a prominent citizen of Arm- strong county, for several years superintend- ent of the Monticello Iron Works of Kittan- ning. Of the five children born to Dr. and Mrs. Allison three died in infancy. The sur- vivors are Mabel A., wife of Dr. F. C. Monks, of Kittanning, and Dr. L. D. Allison, a gradu- ate of Jefferson Medical College, of Philadel- phia, and now a practicing physician of Kit- tanning ; he married Pearl Shaw.
Mrs. Allison's brother, Edward Goodrich Acheson. is one of the foremost inventors in the United States in his line, carborundum, graphite, oildag, siloxicon and many com- pounds of minor importance being the prod- ucts of his research and experimental work. He has reaped the financial benefit of his dis- coveries, through which he became immensely wealthy.
Thomas Mütter Allison, son of Dr. Thomas Henderson Allison, received his preliminary education in the common schools of Elderton, after which he was a pupil at Rev. Obediah Miller's Academy, at West Newton, West- GLENN. The Glenns, who lived in the northeastern part of Armstrong county, in the vicinity of Dayton, were descendants of John Glenn, a native of Ireland, who came from the land of his birth when eighteen years old and settled in Chester county, Pa. He married Mary Borland, by whom he had two daughters, Ann and Mary, and four sons, Robert, John, James and Joseph. moreland Co., Pa., and later entered Lambeth College, Kittanning, from which latter insti- tution he was graduated in the year 1869. He read medicine with his father, and completed his course at Jefferson Medical College, Phil- adelphia, graduating in March, 1872. Return- ing home to Kittanning, he lost no time in getting down to real practice, for within thrity-six hours after his arrival he had visited Joseph Glenn was born Feb. 10, 1787, and married Mary Thompson, who was born the same day as himself.

Ann. In 1818 Mr. Glenn moved to Indiana county, Pa., where he remained three years, after which he located near Mahoning creek, in Wayne township, Armstrong county, about .two miles from Dayton. On this farm, to which he came when the region was almost a wilderness, he lived until his death, April 17, 1852, seeing the country cleared up and won- derfully developed. He was a strongly re- ligious man, a member of the Methodist Church, and particularly zealous in Sunday school work, superintending at different times many schools at quite a distance from home, one of them being on Pine Creek, twelve miles away. His family were all of the same reli- gious faith as himself. After his death his wife lived with her children until she died, Oct. 23, 1866. They were buried in the M. E. cemetery at Dayton. Of their three children, Archibald was the father of James Alex- ander and A. D. Glenn, both mentioned below ; William Turner was married to Mary Jane Thompson in 1849, and died in the army at Alexandria, Va., in 1864 (his widow died in Phoenix, Pa., Jan. 1, 1910) ; Mary Ann was married in 1856 to Isaac Hopkins, who died in December, 1882, and she now (April I, 1914) lives with her son, Dr. Thomas C. Hop- kins, a professor in the university at Syracuse, New York.
Archibald Glenn first settled at Rockport, Clarion Co., Pa., but subsequently lived at various places in Armstrong county, among them Milton, Eddyville and Putneyville, where he resided until his death, May 21, 1888, when he was aged seventy-eight years, three months, five days. He was elected to the office of county commissioner in 1849, and served the people acceptably and efficiently for three years. This was the only public office of con- sequence he ever held except that of jury com- missioner, to which he was elected in 1873. and from which he resigned before the expi- ration of the term because his private busi- ness conflicted with its duties. He held vari- ous township offices and was justice of the peace for about fifteen years.

It is a remarkable fact that five of the sons (all of them living) and Mr. Oyler, husband of the only daughter in this family, served on the Union side during the Civil war. The brothers all enlisted in 1861. Two uncles were also in the service. This is a record which so few families can equal that we give herewith the detailed account of their services which appeared in a local newspaper some time ago :
"Abraham R. Glenn enlisted Aug. 29, 1861, in Company B, 78th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry, which joined Negley's Brigade, and was ordered to Kentucky in October.

He was attended with remarkable good health; was never an inmate of a hospital and off duty but a few days. He took part in the following battles, together with the usual skirmishing which at- tend a regiment in active service; Lavergne,.
