pages. Book is in excellent condition. Printed 2000. Per the publisher;
Allegheny County in southwestern Pennsylvania was for many years a staging  area of westward migration. Thousands of early pioneers passed through it and  thousands more stayed. Representatives of many of these early settlers, perhaps  the majority, are immortalized in this work in genealogical and biographical  sketches. The sketches, numbering approximately 2,250 and naming a total of  50,000 related persons, generally treat subjects who were born in the early  nineteenth century, with reference to immediate forebears of the late eighteenth  century. The sketches typically mention the date and place of birth and marriage  of the principal subject, the place of birth of his parents and often  grandparents, sometimes the name of the first ancestor in America, and details  of religion, education, military service, occupation, home, and residence. Our  publication is excerpted from Part II of the History of Allegheny County,  Pennsylvania, constituting the entire genealogical and biographical section of  that work, i.e. pages 209-786. As the index references correspond to the pages  in the original, those page numbers have been retained in the reprint.
