Pennsylvania: 1801, Buffalo Township [newspaper-style news item for the “Armstrong News”]: |
|
|
|
“Marriage vows were exchanged recently by Joseph Cogley and Rachel Jones. Mr. Cogley |
|
came to this area in 1799 from Dauphin County and has a successful blacksmith shop on the |
|
Kittanning Road. Mrs. Cogley was formerly of Lancaster County. Among the well-wishers were |
|
Mr. Cogley’s uncle, James Cogley, and their close neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. John McAninch.” |
|
|
|
Nancy Emery [Spokane, WA] wrote this “news clipping” from Cogley material in Biographical and |
|
Historical Cyclopedia of Indiana and Armstrong Counties, Samuel T. Wiley, editor, pub. 1891, |
|
John M. Gresham & Co., Philadelphia, pg. 378, and land descriptions of adjacent plots and deeds in |
|
History of Armstrong County, by Robert Walter Smith, Esq., pub. 1883, pages 283, 460, and 497. |
|
“Rachel Jones and John McIninch [sic] ... a written agreement, August 16, 1797, that Rachel and |
|
John should keep settled ... for five years ‘a certain tract of land, situate on Slippery Rock path, |
|
bounded by James Cogley, Sr.’ ...” [Smith, pg.497]; confirmed that John McAninch did not marry |
|
Rachel Jones, what was their relationship? Rachel was “of Lancaster County”, was John’s wife |
|
also? Did he find her in Lancaster County? Sisters? Did Rachel accompany them westward? |
