FASSETT
and was established at the head of the interests of Fassett & Sons. On the death of Major John Fassett, Alvah and his brother Charles settled the estate. He was active in politics, an ardent Republican, but without taste or desire for pub- lic office for himself. While he gave his party loyal and undivided support, aside from some town offices and one term as county auditor, he never held public office, although often importuned to do so by his party and personal friends. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, as were all the Fassetts, but did not take an especial interest in any secret order. He accumulated a con- siderable fortune and bought the old Whitcomb farm from his father, where he erected a mansion, in keeping with his means, during the year 1884. He never fully recovered from his wounds received in battle, which hastened his death, which occurred August 18, 1888.
Alvah Fassett married, September 6, 1865, Mary J., daughter of Seth L. and Polly (Wall) Keeney, great-granddaughter of Mark Keeney, one of the first settlers of Wyoming county, Pennsylvania, and a soldier of the Revolutionary War. Alvah and Mary J. (Keeney) Fassett were the parents of two sons, John B. and Seth Lee Fassett, and one daughter Flora, the two latter dying in early childhood.
JOHN BENTON FASSETT, first born of Alvah and Mary J. (Keeney) Fassett, was born at Scottsville, Pennsylvania, December 19, 1867. He was educated in the district schools, Wyoming Seminary and Wyoming Business College. From 1888 until 1894 Mr. Fassett was engaged at Scottsville in the lumber bus- iness. In 1894 he became cashier of the Wyoming National Bank of Tunk- hannock, Pennsylvania. In 1902 he organized the Citizens National Bank of Tunkhannock, and was chosen president, a position he was eminently fitted to fill, and which he still retains. He is a director of the Scranton Life Insurance Com- pany, and a member of the firm of Brown & Fassett, wholesale and retail flour, feed, grain and produce dealers. Politically he is a Republican. He is a mem- ber of the Methodist Episcopal church, and Masonic bodies of Tunkhannock. He is a Noble of the Mystic Shrine, Wilkes-Barre Temple. John Benton Fas- sett married Margaret, daughter of John and Margaret (Law) Torry. They are the parents of Jessie, born February 8, 1904, and Alvah, born November 20, 1906.

GILBERT FOLLANSBEE
Gilbert Follansbee's Revolutionary descent is from his grandfather, Amos Hunting, who was a member of a company of volunteers raised by the town of Dedham, Massachusetts, for service in the Continental Army during 1780. He saw varied service and was present at the execution of Major André, the Brit- ish spy (see "Mass. Soldiers and Sailors", p. 552). The Hunting line continues on back to John Hunting, who was born in England, in the year 1628, and on April 18, 1671, married Elizabeth Parker, and had a son Jonathan, born January 27, 1690, died December 16, 1768. Jonathan Hunting married Ruth Fisher, and had a son Ebenezer, born May 18, 1728, died February 3, 1769. Ebenezer Hunting's wife was Lydia Woodward, and they were the parents of Amos Hunting, the Revolutionary ancestor of Mr. Follansbee. Amos Hunting was born March 15, 1763, died January 26, 1814. On November 8, 1786, he married Olive Newell, and had issue.
Betsey Hunting, daughter of Amos and Olive (Newell) Hunting, was married, November 28, 1811, to Benjamin Haynes, born September 21, 1785, died July 15, 1860. Benjamin and Betsey (Hunting) Haynes were the mater- nal grandparents of Benjamin Gilbert Follansbee. Their daughter, Maria Jackson Haynes, was married at Charlestown, Massachusetts, to Gilbert Fol- lansbee, born January 5, 1821. Gilbert Follansbee was a son of John Follans- bee, who was born in Plaistow, Massachusetts, July 22, 1792. He was a soldier of the War of 1812. He was also a member of the Haverhill Massachusetts Light Infantry which he joined in 1810. They were ordered out into service in 1814. John Follansbee married at Haverhill, Massachusetts, July 12, 1818, Elizabeth Haynes, a daughter of Thomas and Nancy Anne (Moore) Haynes, of New- buryport, Massachusetts. Here is another line of descent that entitles Mr. Follansbee to patriotic membership. Thomas Haynes was a private in Captain Moses Newell's company, which marched on the "Lexington Alarm", April 19, 1775. He was also a member of Captain Benjamin Perkins' company, of Colo- nel Moses Little's regiment, and served at Bunker Hill, as did his brother, Dav- id Haynes. Thomas Haynes, just mentioned, was a son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Clement) Haynes, who were married, August 1, 1734. Joseph Haynes was born February 5, 1717, died December 24, 1801. Elizabeth Clement, his wife was born March 6, 1716, died February 22, 1756. Joseph Haynes was a mem- ber of the Provincial Congress convened at Salem, Massachusetts, October 17, 1774. He was a son of Thomas Haynes, born May 4, 1680, and Hannah Harri- man, to whom he was married, December 22, 1703. Thomas Haynes was cap- tured by the Indians, August 15, 1696, with his father, Jonathan Haynes, and other members of the family. Jonathan was in later years again captured by the savages who put him to death. Jonathan Haynes (the Indian victim) was the American ancestor of this branch of the Haynes family. He was born in England, emigrated to America, and settled in New Hampshire, where on Octo- ber 30, 1674, at Hampton, he was married to Sarah Moulton.

FOLLANSBEE
GILBERT FOLLANSBEE was born in Plaistow, Massachusetts, January 5, 1821. He is at this date, 1910, living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in his ninety-first year, and in fairly good health. His parents removed from New England to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when he was but two years of age. He grew up and was educated in the latter city and learned the business of shoe manufac- turing. When a young man he was for some time in Lynchburg, Virginia, in charge of a branch of the business there. He was in the shoe business in Phil- adelphia both as a manufacturer and dealer. In 1845 he removed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged along banking and mercantile lines until his retirement from active business in 1878. He was associated with the bank- ing firm of William A. Hill & Company, and was one of the organizers and a director for many years of the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings; also was superin- tendent of the Chamber of Commerce. His religious preference is Presbyterian, and he is a member of the Third Church of that denomination in Pittsburgh. He affiliates with the Masonic order and is a member of the Masonic Veterans Association of Pennsylvania.

BENJAMIN GILBERT FOLLANSBEE was born in Pittsburgh (N. S.), and ed- ucated in the city schools. His early business experience was gained in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Union line, after which he was with Park, Scott & Company and James B. Scott & Company, manufacturers of tin plate and other metals. In 1894, with four associates, he organized Follansbee Broth- ers Company under a Pennsylvania charter, with Benjamin G. Follansbee presi- dent, which office he now occupies (1911). The business of the company is the manufacture of hammered open hearth steel, tin plate and sheets. The works of the company are at Follansbee, West Virginia (where they have built up a town), with distributing points in the larger cities. The home offices are at Pittsburgh. Mr. Follansbee is a member and trustee of the Third Presby- terian Church of Pittsburgh, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Du- quesne, Country, and Stanton Heights Golf clubs of the city and of the Pitts- burgh Board of Trade. In political preference he is a Republican.
He married, October 6, 1887, Frances S. Wright, of Pittsburgh, daughter of Captain Edward S. Wright, a veteran officer of the Civil War and for thirty-two years warden of the Western Penitentiary. This is said to be the longest term any warden ever served. Captain Wright raised his company (a very large one) and went to the war as part of the Sixty-second Pennsylvania Volunteers and captain of that company.
HENRY S. LYDICK
HENRY S. LYDICK is a lineal descendant of John Lydick, his Revolutionary ancestor, who was one of the earliest pioneer settlers of Indiana county, Penn- sylvania, then Westmoreland county. Prior to the year 1768 John Lydick set- tled on a farm in that county about four miles east of the present town of Indiana, the county seat. As to his nationality, tradition says that he was of a Pennsylvania German family, now quite numerous in the eastern part of the state, but spelling the name "Leidich". A change in the spelling of names in those early days was not at all unusual, especially when one member of a family moved into a new locality where the name he bore was not a common one. He saw much Indian trouble; constantly joined with his neighbors in de- fending themselves against the Indians and had many "block house" experi- ences. In 1774, when an Indian war was on, he with a number of his neigh- bors took refuge in Fort Shippen at Captain John Proctor's. From there they sent to Governor John Penn a petition as follows:
"That there was great reason to apprehend that the country would again be imme- diately involved in all the horror of Indian war; that their circumstances at that critical time were truly alarming; deserted by the far greater part of our neighbors and fellow subjects, unprotected with places of strength to resort to with ammunition, provisions and with almost every other necessary store. Out houses abandoned to pillage; labor and industry entirely at a stand; our crops destroyed by cattle; our flocks dispersed, the minds of our people distracted with the terrors of falling along with the helpless and un- protected families, the immediate victims of savage barbarity. In the midst of these scenes of desolation and ruin, next the Almighty, we look to your Honor, hoping, from your known benevolence and humanity, such protection and relief as your Honor shall see meet" (Rupp's "History of Western Pennsylvania," page 259, Appendix).
This petition was signed by over seventy persons, one of whom was John Lydick. It was the custom of these settlers, when the Indians were on the war path, to hide or bury in the earth all articles of furniture, utensils, etc., and flee to the forts or block houses at Ligonier, Greensburg, or some nearer place and to remain there until the Indians were induced to become quiet again. They would then return to their homes, dig up their furniture and utensils, re- build their cabins and again take up the peaceful pursuits of agricultural life. Three times John Lydick and his neighbors were driven from their homes by the Indians between 1768 and 1783.
In 1778 John Lydick enlisted in Lieutenant Thomas Fletcher's company of Frontier Rangers from Westmoreland county and served until 1783. The service of the "Rangers" was not to battle with the regular English forces along the ocean front, but to protect the settlements on the frontier from the ravages of the Indians, led often by renegade English more dangerous and brutal than their Indian allies. The descendants of John Lydick have settled in many parts of the United States, but are more numerous in the counties of Indiana, Jeffer- son, Armstrong and Clearfield, Pennsylvania, than elsewhere. Each year in the latter part of August they hold a reunion in the northern part of Indiana county, which is usually attended by upwards of three thousand persons either

LYDICK
descended from or married to descendants of John Lydick. At each reunion John Lydick's old mill is taken on the ground as a necessary part of the event. It is a unique hand power mill, consisting of a small upper and lower burr so framed and geared as to be easily run by one person. It grinds any kind of grain very nicely. That mill was buried during the Revolution to hide it from the Indians much of the time its owner was in the army.
JOHN LYDICK married Mary May and was the father of nine children: Jacob, married Mary Stuchel; John, married Penina Rice; James, married Jane Boyles ; Mary, married William Caldwell; Nancy, married John Baird; Patrick, married Nancy McHenry, Elizabeth, married Christopher Stuchel; Barbara, married Abraham Stuchel; Margaret, married John Allison. John Lydick died in 1803, and his will is recorded at Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
PATRICK LYDICK, son of John and Mary (May) Lydick, was born sometime about 1772. He married Nancy McHenry, and was the father of eleven chil- dren: John, born in 1796; Mollie, born 1798, married Archie Jamison; Isaac, born 1800; James, born 1802; William, born 1804; Patrick Jr., born 1806; Nan- cy, born 1808, married Edward Turner; Hannah, born 1811, married S. K. Lockhart; Samuel, born 1814; Peggy, born 1816, married James Mabor; Jo- seph, born 1818.

Sarah (Lydick) Gorman had four children who grew to maturity ; Clinton D., Ida M. (Mrs. R. V. Ginter) of Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania, and Jeannetta M. (Mrs. Hugh W. Smitten) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who has a son living, Hugh W. Smitten, Jr.
ISAAC LYDICK, son of Patrick and Nancy (McHenry) Lydick, married Lois Sutor and was the father of four children: George T., drowned while in col- lege at Meadville, Pennsylvania ; Joseph M., now (1911) at the age of eighty- two living on his farm in South Mahoning township, Indiana county, Pennsyl- vania ; Mary Ellen, married Hugh Lawson; Margaret A., married Dr. Yancey and now (1911) living at Russellville, Arkansas.
JOSEPH M. LYDICK, son of Isaac and Lois (Sutor) Lydick, was born in South Mahoning township, Indiana county, Pennsylvania, in 1829. He married Hetty Ellen Silvis, and is the father of four children: George T., Virginia B., Henry S., see forward; Ernest A.
The descendants of John Lydick are found on the rosters of the United States Army in all our wars from the Revolution to the War with Spain. Jo- seph M. served in the War for the suppression of the Rebellion in the Seventy eighth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.

CHURCHILL BROWN MEHARD
CHURCHILL BROWN MEHARD descends from the Revolutionary soldier, Jo- seph Gaston, who was his great-great-grandfather. The Gaston descent is as follows. Joseph Gaston was born in Somerset county, New Jersey, May 29, 1763, died in the same neighborhood, October 16, 1796. He was a man of standing and influence in the community and warmly espoused the cause of the Colonies. He served as paymaster of the New Jersey state troops and militta. He was with the Continental Army in all the battles and skirmishes in which the New Jersey troops participated. Joseph Gaston married Ida Van Arsdale and they reared a family.
John I. Gaston, son of Joseph and Ida (Van Arsdale) Gaston, married Cath- erine Annan and had issue.
Joan Gaston, daughter of John I. and Catherine (Annan) Gaston, married George H. Brown, and had issue.
Ida Augusta, daughter of George H. and Joan (Gaston) Brown, was born in Somerville, New Jersey, November 23, 1859, died May 29, 1883. She mar- ried, July 1, 1880, Samuel Smiley Mehard, (see Mehard) and they are the par- ents of Churchhill Brown Mehard.
The Mehards are a Scotch-Irish family that were planted in America by James Mehard. The ancient spelling of the name was Maharg, which reversed spells Graham, and it may be inferred that in the troublous times when persecu- tion drove so many of the Scotch into Ireland, that the name was then changed. James Mehard was born in county Antrim and came to America in 1818, re- mained for a time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, then removed to Butler and in 1832 settled on a tract of eight hundred acres near Wirtemberg in Wayne township, Armstrong county, Pennsylvania (then Beaver county). This became the family homestead and is still owned in the family. James Mehard's wife was Christina Orr, whom he married before leaving Ireland. She was also of a Scotch-Irish family. Their children were Robert, Thomas, James, Samuel Smiley, see forward, Joseph, William, Matilda, Elizabeth and Ann.
DR. SAMUEL SMILEY MEHARD, son of James and Christina (Orr) Mehard, was born in Pennsylvania in the year 1822. He was educated at Duquesne Col- lege, Pittsburgh. Choosing a professional career, he studied medicine under old Dr. Mowey, one of Pittsburgh's early noted doctors, and in 1847 graduated from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He located in Mercer, Mercer county, Pennsylvania, where he practiced his profession until his death, September 30, 1883, although during his later years owing to feeble health he did little more than consult. His son, Dr. James Walker Mehard, had succeeded to his practice.
Dr. Samuel S. Mehard married, April 1, 1847, Mary Jane, daughter of James Miller Walker, of Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. They were the parents of two sons : James Walker and Samuel Smiley Mehard.
JAMES WALKER, eldest son of Dr. Samuel S. and Mary Jane (Walker) Me-
934
MEHARD
hard, was born April 17, 1848. His academic education was received at West- minster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, where he was graduated after a full course. He followed in the footsteps of his father in choosing a profes- sion. He was graduated from Jefferson Medical College and practiced in Mer- cer county, Pennsylvania, with his father, and on the failure of the latter's health succeeded him. He did not, however, outlive him, but passed away Sep- tember 25, 1883, five days previous to the death of Dr. Mehard, the elder. He served as a private in the Civil War, and was attached to a regiment of Penn- sylvania Volunteer Infantry. His wife was Julia P. McJunkin, of Mercer.
JUDGE SAMUEL SMILEY MEHARD, youngest son of Dr. Samuel S. and Mary Jane (Walker) Mehard, was born in Sunbury, Butler county, Pennsylvania, December 18, 1849. He is a graduate of Westminster College, class of 1869. He adopted the legal profession and read law under the instruction of the Hon. John Trunkey, afterward justice of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. He next went abroad to complete his studies and took a post-graduate course at Heidelburg University, Germany, in 1874-75. He returned to Pennsylvania and practiced his profession in the several courts until December 8, 1883, when he was appointed by Governor Robert E. Pattison, president-judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Mercer county, Pennsylvania. Se served almost one year by appointment and in 1884 was elected by the people to the same high position for the full term of ten years. At the expiration of his term of office Judge Mehard removed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he has ever since been actively engaged in the practice of his profession. His church con- nection is with the Mercer United Presbyterian Church where he holds his membership, but worships with the Sixth United Presbyterian congregation of Pittsburgh. July 1, 1880, Judge Mehard married Ida Augusta Brown, a de- scendant of Joseph Gaston, the Revolutionary ancestor. After a brief mar- ried life of less than three years Mrs. Mehard died, on May 29, 1883. One son, Churchill B., survived her.
