So, were both Daniel McAninch’s family and William McAninch’s family counted together as

one household in the 1790 census? If not, where was William McAninch and his family in 1790?

Sometime after the 1790 census, Daniel McAninch, William McAninch, and their families were

on the move again, going south down the Great Valley of the Shenandoah, and stopped for a while

in Greene County, eastern Tennessee [26]. From there, both families took the Wilderness Road

through the Cumberland Gap into Lincoln County, Kentucky, in the late 1790s, with their land

becoming part of Casey County, Kentucky, set off in 1807. William died in Casey County, 1813.

During 1812-1820, Daniel McAninch, his wife, two of his sons, two of his married daughters,

and their families went south to Giles County, Tennessee, along with some of William’s children

and their families. Daniel McAninch died ca.1822, in Tennessee (probably in Giles County).

John McAninch and his Family in 1790

John McAninch, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, pioneer

John McAninch was born ca.1760, in Ireland (possibly in Scotch Corners, County Monaghan,

Ulster Province, northern Ireland; the exact date, place, and names of his parents are unknown).

There are no known records of his early life, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, across Pennsylvania,

nor of his marriage. John probably married in in his early 20s, during the 1780-1783 time period,

and almost certainly in Pennsylvania. Later land deed and estate records in Armstrong County,

Pennsylvania, give his wife’s name as both Elizabeth and Betsey.

According to his 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, and 1830 census records, John McAninch had a total

of 9 or 10 children, three of whom were born before the 1790 census. John’s oldest son, William

H. McAninch, was born 1783-1784, in Pennsylvania, and married Isabel Hopkins ca.1803-1804.

John’s oldest two daughters were also born before 1790 (one of the two daughters, Rachel, born

ca.1788-1790, married Christian Snyder ca.1815).[John Notes] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37]

In the 1790 Census, John McAninch and his family were enumerated in Derry Township, in the

eastern part of Westmoreland County (exact location not recorded), with five people in his family:

John McAninch ("1 1 3 0 0", five people) (pg.76)

(a) 1 Free white male, 16 years and upward, including heads of families (John himself, age ~30),

(b) 1 Free white male under 16 years (his oldest son, William, b.1783-1784, age 6 or 7), and

On the 1790 census, John McAninch is enumerated near the middle of the Derry Township list

(16th name on pg.76) The eight names above John McAninch are Wm Perry, Wm White,

John Biby(sp?), Jas Burns (Burris?), Alex'r McClean, Wm Stewart, Joseph Carson, and John Craig.

The next eight names after John McAninch are Dan'l Gliese(sp?), Dan'l McLelland, Wm Patton,
