The reference was 1740 ....not 1840. The claim was made that someone was born in Tyrone in 1728, which was well before the first white settlers in this area, which came in 1740. -----Original Message----- From: brethren-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:brethren-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of RRRhoads@aol.com Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2008 2:05 PM To: brethren@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BRE] BRETHREN Digest, Vol 3, Issue 72 Actually Balir Co. was formed from elements of Huntingdon and Bedford Co. in 1840. believe me when I say there were lots of people there before 1840.

Tyrone, PA (north of Altoona in Blair County) was founded in 1850. The Tyrone area was unsettled Indian territory in 1728. The first settlers came to what is now Blair County in the 1740's.
