Eleven early McA/Ninch’s in western Pennsylvania     

 

In early western Pennsylvania, circa 1780’s to 1820’s, there were eleven different McA/Ninch men

(an Archibald, two Daniel’s, two Henry’s, three John’s, and three William’s). It was difficult to get

clear title in the ‘Depreciation Lands’ north and west of the Allegheny River; only two of the six

‘First Generation’ men remained in this area, while the other four moved on to Kentucky and Ohio.

 

In fact, John McAninch (born ca.1760, Ireland; Allegheny County and Armstrong County pioneer)

was the only ‘First Generation’ man with sons that remained in western Pennsylvania, and his three

sons (William, John, and Henry) are the ‘Three Brothers’ in the Jefferson County history books.

 

And there is new information on two of the ‘Second Generation’ (and/or ‘Third Generation’?) men:

1. Daniel (or David?) McA/Ninch, 1800 and 1807, Allegheny County and Armstrong County, and

2. John McAninch, b.1821, could have been a grand-son of John McAninch, through his son Henry.
