For the family of Samuel Thomas Wilson and Susanna Poe McClanahan, I have had to rely on census records to put their family together. So any additions or corrections are most welcome! This family has been in the Elizabeth Township area since about 1790, when they moved from Lancaster County. I failed to mention in the first part that Elizabeth Morrow Wilson brought cherry seeds from the farm in Lancaster County to Allegheny County, where a large orchard was planted and shared with all who wanted them. 1850 Elizabeth Twp., Allegheny, PA pg. 76 Wilson, Samuel 58 M farmer 7000 Penn.

Thompson Journal Volume 3 pages 78 - 85. Excerpts At residence of Mrs. Philip Neth in Rostraver Twp., November 4, 1919 2 p.m. Joe Markle brought me out here an hour ago and George Edward Neth, the oldest son, received me and called in his mother who said she was born in 1848 and was named for her father's sister Susannah Poe, but was Susan Jame. She says her grandfather, Doctor Mathew McClanahan came from Ireland and she produced an old medical dictionary printed in London in 1785, the author being G. Motherby M.D. The record in handwriting of Dr. Mathew McClanahan except the record of his death is as follows: I married in the 44th year of my age on the 21st day of November 1803. Eliza, daughter, born 25 July 1804 Matthew, son, born 2 January 1806 Susanna Poe, daughter, born 31 January 1809 Catarine, my wife, departed this life at one o'clock in the morning of the 29th day of July 1812, aged 44 years and 6 months. ( This is Catherine Potter) Matthew P. McClanahan, son, married Sarah Watson on the 22nd day of May 1834. Martha, my second wife departed this life 27th day of June 1836, 78 years. Doctor Matthew McClanahan departed this life on the 23rd day of April 1839, about half after three o'clock in the morning being 80 years of age. Mrs. Neth also produces her father, Matthew P. McClanahan's family Bible, printed in 1838 at Philadelphia, PA. Mr. Phillip Neth and Miss Susan Jane McClanahan married at the home of the bride's parents by the Reverend Matthew McKristy at West Newton, Westmoreland, PA on 23 February 1869. Eliza McClanahan, sister of M. P. McClanahan married Robert McMahon, brother of Judge Riddle's wife. Susanna Poe McClanahan married Samuel Wilson, a farmer and they lived on a farm near Elizabeth, Allegheny Co., PA. He died first. They raised Clara, Mrs. Neth's sister, as she was only about 8 years old when her mother died. Jane Hill had married Jeremiah Wilson, a brother of Samuel Wilson who married Susanna Poe McClanahan. An obituary notice which I did not get to read said Susanna Poe Wilson was 87 when she died. She survived her husband. She said the children did not now live on the farm, had gone West. I told them I would come back again to see the obituary notices and get such other information as they could. They asked me to come when Clara was there. In part 3 I will give a little on the families of Samuel Thomas Wilson who married Sarah Alice Irwin and John C. Wilson who married Annaretus Irwin. Debbie Callison
