Daniel McAninch |
|
Daniel McAninch was born ca.1748-1752, in (northern) Ireland, probably in County Antrim, |
|
Ulster Province, while Ireland and Pennsylvania were both colonies of the English crown. |
|
Daniel McAninch is first seen in colonial Pennsylvania, where he married Mary Smith in 1776, |
|
in Cumberland County, central Pennsylvania. Daniel McAninch and his family followed the |
|
classic Scots-Irish migration route westward, in Westmoreland County, western Pennsylvania, |
|
in the 1790 census, with Daniel’s sons John and Samuel, who were both born in Pennsylvania. |
|
Then, in the early 1790s, Daniel McAninch and his family went down the Great Valley of the |
|
Shenandoah River and the upper James River, with son George A. McAninch born in Virginia. |
|
On the route, they stopped in Greene County, eastern Tennessee, for a few years, and Daniel’s |
|
fourth (known) son Daniel McAninch was probably born in Tennessee (or later, in Kentucky). |
|
In the late 1790s, both Daniel McAninch and William McAninch took their families north-west |
|
through the Cumberland Gap and down the new Wilderness Road into southern Kentucky, and |
|
south-west into Lincoln County (William McAninch in 1797, and Daniel McAninch a year later). |
