The development of the Jeannette natural gas region also felt his potency as well as the general upbuilding of that sprightly town. He donated seven acres of valuable land for manufacturing purposes at Burrell, a station near Greens- burg. The thriving towns of Youngwood, Southwest Greensburg, and other outlying sections of Greensburg were laid out largely by his efforts, and he has always been financially interested in the Kelly & Jones Company and its various improvements.


He is also a director of the American Surety and Trust Company of Wash- ington, D. C., the President of the Westmoreland Hospital Association, and is further interested in coal companies outside of the Keystone Coal and Coke Company in nearly every section of the bituminous region in Pennsylvania.


Adjoining Greensburg he has a large landed estate containing about 500 acres, upon which the family residence is built. It consists of highly cultivated farm land and original forest, all of which is beautified by a system of landscape gardening and parks; and through the entire farm there are winding driveways of over four miles in length, which are kept up by Mr. Huff and are at all times thrown open for the public to enjoy:


Mr. Huff is a progressive Republican. His political career began in 1880 when, as a member of the Chicago Republican Convention, he was one of the 306 who supported General U. S. Grant for a third term as President. In 1884 he was a candidate for the office of State Senator in the Thirty-ninth Senator- ial District, composed of the County of Westmoreland. He was elected by a majority of seven hundred, although the county had for long years been re- garded as the Democratic stronghold of the West. Since then the county has been generally Republican.


In 1888 Mr. Huff was nominated for Congress by the Republicans of West- moreland county, but another was selected under the conferee system. In 1890 he was chosen as Congressional candidate by the Republicans in the district and elected by a large majority, representing the counties of Westmoreland, Indiana, Armstrong and Jefferson. He served in Congress until 1893, and in 1894 was elected Congressman-at-Large front Pennsylvania. In 1902, 1904 and 1906 he was returned to Congress, and now represents the counties of Westmoreland and Butler. During his service in the National House of Representatives, Mr. Huff has proved his ability to well represent the large and varied interests of his con- stituents, and no member of Congress from the Commonwealth stands higher


I256


HUFF


than he. He is now prominently mentioned as a candidate for the Governorship (1906).


On March 16, 1871, Mr. Huff was united in marriage with Henrietta Bur- rell, a daughter of the late Jeremiah M. Burrell, twice President Judge of the Tenth Judicial District of Pennsylvania, and later United States District Judge for the Territory of Kansas. Judge Burrell died at Greensburg, October 21, 1856. (See sketch of Judge Burrell in that part of the first volume of this series relative to the Westmoreland Bench).


Mr. and Mrs. Huff are the parents of eight children, four of whom are living, namely, Lloyd Burrell, Julian Burrell, Carolyn Burrell and Burrell Richardson.


BURCHFIELD FAMILY


ALBERT H. BURCHFIELD is of the sixth generation from the Revolutionary soldier and patriot, Captain Joseph Sheirer, another of the sons of Ireland, who gave so willingly their services and lives to free their adopted country from the hated rule of Great Britain. Joseph Sheirer was born near Londonderry, Ire- land, in 1730. He came to Pennsylvania at an early date and settled on a farm in what is now Paxtang township, Dauphin county, near Harrisburg, where he died December 1, 1776. He embraced the cause of the colonies with great fervor and zeal and but for his untimely death, early in the struggle, would have risen to higher position in both the army and in legislative bodies. He was captain of a company of Colonel James Burd's Battalion of Associators, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and member of the Committee of Observation of the same county (now Dauphin). He was elected a member of the first Con- stitutional Convention of Pennsylvania which met in Philadelphia, July 15, 1776, and while in attendance there was taken ill, and returned to his home, where he died on the date previously given. At a meeting of the patriots of Lancaster county held early in 1776, Captain Sheirer offered a resolution declaring for American independence from Great Britain. Joseph Sheirer married Mary Mc- Clure and had issue :


MARY SHEIRER, daughter of Captain Joseph and Mary (McClure) Sheirer, married Samuel Cochrane and had issue :


MARY COCHRANE, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Sheirer) Cochrane, mar- ried Adam Burchfield, who came to Pennsylvania from Green Briar, Maryland, and settled on Squirrel Hill, now a residential portion of the city of Pittsburgh. They had issue :


ROBERT COCHRANE BURCHFIELD, son of Adam and Mary (Cochrane) Burch- field, was born in Pennsylvania and died in 1848. He married Susan Rebecca Hackwelder, who was born in Bedford, Pennsylvania.


ALBERT PRESSLY BURCHFIELD, son of Robert Cochrane and Susan Rebecca (Hackwelder) Burchfield, was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, January 20, 1844. He attended the public schools of Allegheny until he was thirteen years of age, when he entered the employ of William Semple, a dry goods merchant of that city. He remained in the employ of that concern until July 1, 1858, when he entered the employ of Joseph Horne, on Market street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was identified with the Joseph Horne Company continuously from 1858 until the time of his death. He was admitted to partnership in the firm, and when the wholesale and retail departments were separated he became identified with the wholesale department, and was president of the Pittsburgh Dry Goods Company from 1893 to 1897. He was the senior member and vice- president of the Joseph Horne Company from the time of its incorporation until his death. Much of the success of these two great companies was due to Mr. Burchfield's rare business qualities, active enterprise and liberal policy. He had many other business interests. He was vice-president and treasurer of the

BURCHFIELD


Western Pennsylvania Exposition Society, a director of the Mt. Pleasant and Bradford Railroad and of the Pittsburgh & Mansfield Railroad before it was absorbed by the Wabash, and was a member of the executive board of the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce. He enlisted from Pittsburgh to serve nine months, and was mustered into service, August 8, 1862, at Allegheny, Pennsyl- vania, as a corporal of Captain John S. Bell's Company E, One Hundred and Twenty-third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Colonel John B. Clarke commanding. He saw active service in the battles of Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. He was promoted for meri- torious service to sergeant, April 10, 1863, and was honorably discharged with his company at Harrisburg, May 12, 1863. Major Burchfield was always ac- tive and interested in the affairs of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was Commander of Post No. 162, served as senior Vice-commander of the De- partment of Pennsylvania, 1885, senior Vice-commander-in-chief of the Na- tional Grand Army of the Republic, 1894. He was a charter member and chairman of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall Committee, and it was largely through his efforts that the Memorial was built. He was a trustee of Grove City (Pennsylvania) College and of Winona (Indiana) Agricultural and Technical Institute. He was a member of the Duquesne, University and Pitts- burgh Country clubs, and of the Pittsburgh Art Society. His church connec- tion was with the Sixth United Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh. This brief resumé of Mr. Burchfield's many spheres of activity proved the broadness of his mental vision, and whether considered as employee, employer, merchant, soldier, churchman, official business associate or clubman, he was found to be a man true to himself and true to his fellows. He died at his family residence, 401 South Negley Avenue, January 8, 1910.


Major Burchfield married (first) October 12, 1864, Sarah J. McWhinney, daughter of Matthew McWhinney, of Pittsburgh. She died October 4, 1896. He married (second), January 19, 1899, Ivy O. Friesell.

JENNIE SPURWAY SNOWDEN MCKAY


JENNIE SPURWAY SNOWDEN (Mrs. Walter R. Mckay) is a lineal descendant of William Snowden, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of Welsh extraction who came to the neighborhood of Philadelphia before the arrival of the Penns.


JOHN SNOWDEN, born 1650, died 1736. Married (first) April 13, 1682, Ann Barrett ; (second) August II, 1718, Elizabeth Swift.


JOHN SNOWDEN, son of John and Ann (Barrett) Snowden, was born 1685, died 1751. Married (first) November 10, 1709, Mary Taylor ; (second) 1720, Ruth Fitz Randolph, widow of Edward Harrison.


JAMES SNOWDEN, son of John and Mary (Taylor) Snowden, was born March 18, 1710, died 1760. Married Katharine North, daughter of Caleb North, rector of First Presbyterian Church.


WILLIAM SNOWDEN, sixth child of James and Katharine (North) Snowden, was born March 19, 1741, was a sea captain and entered the service of the Continental Congress at the beginning of the Revolution, was captured by the British, and died in the "Sugar House" prison at New York. His wife, Ann (Maugridge) Snowden, was a woman of marked character, great intelligence and energy. She was the trusted friend of General Washington, and through her he received from time to time important information respecting the Brit- ish forces, while they held Philadelphia. Judge John Moor, whose sketch fol- lows, was the father of Elizabeth, who became the wife of John M. Snowden, son of William Snowden, of previous mention.


John Moor was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, died in Westmore- land county, Pennsylvania, in 1738, and was buried at Congruity, that county, in 1811. His father died when he was a small boy, and about 1757 his mother with her family moved west of the mountains. At the breaking out of the Revolution he lived on a farm of four hundred acres on Crab Tree Run in Westmoreland county, which he was clearing and on which he had erected a stone house for his residence. This shows indirectly that he was one of the most intelligent and enterprising farmers of his day. In fact he was a ripe scholar, a man of vigorous intellect and broad experience. He was a member of the convention that met in Philadelphia, July 15, 1776, to frame a constitution for the state. He took an active part in this convention and was appointed one of the Committee of Safety in the early part of the war. In 1777 he was commissioned a justice of the peace of Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, and in 1779, a judge of the court of common pleas. In 1785 he was chosen president judge. Not being a lawyer he could not hold that posi- tion under the Constitution of 1790. Under the provincial system the justices of the county elected their own president. By act of August 7, January 28, 1777, the Executive Council appointed and commissioned one as president jus- tice and among the first thus regularly appointed and commissioned was Judge Moor. In 1792 he was elected to the State Senate from the district composed of Allegheny and Westmoreland counties. He married a daughter of Isaac


I260


MCKAY


Parr, of New Jersey, and left four daughters and two sons. One of his sons was county surveyor of Westmoreland county, the other a civil engineer who died in Kentucky. One of his daughters was Mrs. Major John Kirkpatrick, of Greensburg ; another, Mrs. James McJunkin, a farmer of Westmoreland coun- ty. His daughter, Mary Moor, became the wife of Rev. Francis Laird, D. D., a distinguished divine of the Presbyterian church, and who also excelled as a mathematician and linguist. He is of lasting memory in Westmoreland county where Laird Church and Laird Institute at Murrysville are monuments to his memory. The name of Francis Laird is still perpetuated as a family name. Another daughter of Judge Moor, Elizabeth, became the wife of John M. Snowden, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and they are the grandparents of Mrs. Walter Mckay. Judge Moor is described as being a man full six feet tall, straight and erect. His wife, as being a woman of intelligence, vivacity and fine personal appearance.


JOHN MAUGRIDGE SNOWDEN, son of William and Ann (Maugridge) Snow- den, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1776. In early life John M., was apprenticed to the celebrated Matthew Carey to learn "the art and mys- tery of printing." His first venture on his own account was the establishment of a newspaper in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, in company with his brother- in-law, William McCorkle. In 1798 he removed to Western Pennsylvania, set- tling in Greensburg, Westmoreland county, where he established the Farmer's Register, the first newspaper in the West after the Pittsburgh Gazette. Here he united with the Presbyterian church of which Rev. William Speer, father of Dr. James R. Speer, was pastor, and here he married. In 1811 he removed to Pittsburgh and purchased the Commonwealth, a newspaper of that city. He changed its name to The Mercury. In the Pittsburgh directory of 1815 he is styled printer and bookbinder and editor of the Pittsburgh Mercury. The office was at first on Market street between Third and Fourth, and afterward on Liberty street near the head of Wood street. He published a number of valuable works and had in connection with his publishing business, a large book store. Through his paper, his book store, his energy and social prominence he became widely known as one of the leading citizens of the state. He was an elder of the First Presbyterian Church; director of the Bank of Pittsburgh; recorder of deeds and in 1825, was elected mayor of Pittsburgh. He was the third mayor of the city and served 1825-26-27. Ebenezer Denny was the first, John Darragh the second, and Mr. Snowden the third mayor after the erection of Pittsburgh as a city in 1816. In 1839 he was appointed associate judge of Allegheny county, which position he held six years. His intelligence, business habits, varied experience and broad common sense, eminently fitted him for that high and responsible office. He exhibited while on the bench remarkable knowledge of law. On more than one occasion he differed with the president judge as to the law, and so expressed himself to the jury as he had an un- doubted right to do. He had the entire respect and confidence of the bar. At the trial of one of the most important cases ever tried in the county it was remarked that it was unusual to have so important a case tried before an as- sociate judge; one of the counsel replied "that layman knows twice as much law and has three times as much sense as some President Law Judges." Mr. Snowden was in great favor with President Jackson. 'On one occasion he had


I26I

recommended an applicant for appointment to an important office. Another candidate for the office said to the president, that the man Snowden recon- mended was unfit for the office. This set "Old Hickory" blazing and he thun- dered "How dare you say that. Do you think John M. Snowden would recom- mend a man unfit for the office? No!" Snowden's man got the office. While living in Greensburg, Mr. Snowden married Elizabeth, daughter of Judge John Moor, of Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania (see Judge John Moor). Mr. Snowden died suddenly at his residence in Allegheny City, April 2, 1845. They had six sons and six daughters: I. William, died in early manhood. 2. Katharine, died in infancy. 3. Elizabeth, married George Ogden. 4. Harriet, married Joseph R. Kerr, D. D. 5. Joseph, married Julia Weston. 6. John Elliott, married -. 7. Francis Laird, mentioned below. 8. Nancy Moor, married Robert Robb. 9. Samuel, married Selina Gilliland. 10. Caroline, mar- ried Dr. James Allison, editor of Presbyterian Banner. II. Ellen, married T. K. Willson. 12.

FRANK RODMAN SHATTUCK


FRANK RODMAN SHATTUCK, of Philadelphia, is a descendant of the "Pil- grim Fathers" of Massachusetts, in the ninth generation from Joshua Pratt, who was of the third freight of the good ship "Anne and Little James," and landed on the New England shore in 1623. On the paternal side he is eighth in descent from William Shattuck, who was a landed proprietor of Water- town, Massachusetts, in 1642.


WILLIAM SHATTUCK, born in England in 1621 or 1622, died at Watertown, Massachusetts, August 14, 1672, at the age of fifty-one years. He, as well as Samuel Shattuck, of Salem, Massachusetts, is supposed to have been a son of Demaris Shattuck, a widow who was admitted to the church of Salem, in 1641, but we have no record of the name of their father.


This Samuel Shattuck was of the "People called Quakers," and was tried as such at Salem, Massachusetts, May II, 1659, and sentenced to banish- ment from the colony on pain of death. He immediately went to England and laid the case before Charles II, and by the assistance of Edward Burroughs, obtained, on September 19, 1661, a mandamus commanding the magistrates and ministers of New England to "forbear to proceed any farther" against the Quakers. Samuel Shattuck was appointed King's deputy to carry this man- damus to New England, which he did, and on November 27, 1661, the General Court of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, ordered that "the execution of the Laws in force against Quakers, as such, so far as they respect corporal pun- ishment or death, be suspended until the Court take further Order". Samuel Shattuck died in Salem, Massachusetts, June 6, 1689.


William Shattuck, above mentioned, the lineal ancestor of Frank Rodman Shattuck, is mentioned on a list of the proprietors of Watertown, Middlesex county, Massachusetts, in 1642, and he later became a considerable landholder there. He died in 1672, as before stated, and three and a half years later his widow Susanna, married Richard Norcross. William and Susanna Shattuck had nine children, five sons and four daughters, and were the ancestors of all the Shattucks of America.


WILLIAM SHATTUCK (2), sixth child and third son of William and Susanna Shattuck, was born at Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1653, and died there on the old family homestead, October 19, 1732, in his eightieth year. He married, in 1678, Susanna, daughter of Stephen and Susanna (Barton) Randall. She died May 8, 1723. They had eleven children.


ROBERT SHATTUCK, tenth child of William and Susanna (Randall) Shattuck, born January 1, 1698, married, July 9, 1719, Mary Pratt, and settled in Ply- mouth, Massachusetts. He died in his father's house at Watertown, while there on a visit, December 13, 1723, aged twenty-five years eleven months and twelve days. His wife Mary Pratt, born April 8, 1695, was a daughter of Benajah and Mary Pratt, of Plymouth; granddaughter of Benajah and Persis (Dunham) Pratt. Her great-great-grandfather, Joshua Pratt, was one of the

third freight of Pilgrims, who arrived in the "Anne and Little James" in 1630. Robert and Mary (Pratt) Shattuck had three children: Mary, Robert and Randall Shattuck.


ROBERT SHATTUCK (2), born June 3, 1721, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, set- tled in East Hampton parish, Chatham, Connecticut, where he lived during the active years of his life. He died in Middletown, Connecticut, February 12, 1802, aged eighty years, eight months and nine days. He married (first) on September 9, 1744, Ruhamah Cook, a descendant of Francis Cook, one of the original Pilgrims, who arrived on the "Mayflower" in 1620, and who died in Plymouth, April 17, 1663. Robert Shattuck married (second) Hannah Blake. He had nine children by his first wife and one by the second.


DAVID SHATTUCK, sixth child of Robert and Ruhamah (Cook) Shattuck, was born in East Hampton, Connecticut, September 12, 1758, and died at Colchester, Connecticut, January 23, 1840. In 1776 he enlisted in the company of Captain Eliphalet Holmes, Colonel Ephraim Chamberlain's regiment, Con- necticut Militia, and served for six months under Colonel Selden, in the Con- tinental service; was with Washington's shattered army, when it was driven from Brooklyn Heights and crossed over to New York. He again en- listed under Captain Chambers in 1780, and the company was incorporated in the regiment of Colonel Heman Swift, of the Regular Continental Line, with which David Shattuck served until the close of the war, being with the army at its final disbandment. He was granted a pension as a Revolutionary sol- dier on his application, dated March 31, 1818.


David Shattuck married, November, 1789, Dorothy Alcott, born January 12, 1767, died April 26, 1838; daughter of Thomas and Mary Alcott, of East Hampton, Connecticut.


GILES SHATTUCK, fourth child of David and Dorothy (Alcott) Shattuck, was born at Colchester, Connecticut, January 24, 1798. He married, September 30, 1821, Nancy Eggleston, born June 20, 1799, daughter of Moses and Mary Eggleston, of Avon, New York.
