History of Fayette County, by Franklin Ellis, Philadelphia, L H Everts and Company, 1882 p675 Some time previous to 1791, Benjamin Lincoln, son of Mordechai Lincoln, left his home in Perry township, Dauphin Co, and emigrated to the west side of the mountains, and lived for a time on the Rankin farm in Union township. While there his father visited him, and was so well pleased with the country and its prospects that on June 29, 1791, he purchased of Isaac Pearce the tract of land called "Discord," containing three hundred and twenty acres. Mordechai Lincoln had four children—Benjamin Lincoln, John Lincoln, Ann Lincoln and Sarah Lincoln. A few years later Benjamin Lincoln purchased a farm on Whitely Creek in Greene County. Afterwards he became the owner of the farm now occupied by John Hankins, and lived there until his death. John and Ann Lincoln went to Virginia. Sarah was married before coming to North Union to John Jones, a Philadelphian of Welsh descent. Jones remained upon the old farm until the death of Mordechai Lincoln, when he became its purchaser. He lived there until 1802 when he died and was buried in the family burying-ground, where his father-in-law and other members of the family had been laid. The children of John and Sarah Jones were six in number, of whom William, John, and Ann remain in this township, and the other three went west. William remained a bachelor on a part of the homestead, and died in 1872, aged eighty three years. Ann married Daniel Canon, a brother of Col John Canon of Washington Co, and resided in Uniontown. John is still living on the homestead farm. This farm, like many others in this section, is underlaid with a vein of coal nine feet in thickness. The Youngstown Coke Company have purchased the right to mine the coal under this farm and some others adjoining. On this, which was the Isaac Pearce tract, was one of the early "Settlers' Forts" built for protection against the Indians.
