Notes:

William Peart Sr. came from England to Oxford Township, Philadelphia County,
Pennsylfania; in 1806 he bought two tracts in Armstrong County on the Alleghany
River at the mouth of Pine Run, and the following year built a sawmill there at
what was to become Mosgrove, Pennsylvania; he owned additional lands and a
grist mill in Valley Township.

The will of William Peart of Kittanning Township, written 30 July 1828,
probated 27 August 1828, bequeathed $100 to each of two grandchildren, son and
daughter of son Benjamin Peart (they lived near Philadelphia); to daughters
Susan Bainbridge and Maria Johns, certain bonds against Philip Mochling and
Simon Torney; to wife Susan her support her lifetime. A codicil of 1 August
1828 leaves land on Pine Creek and Alleghany River, "where I now reside", to
granddaughter Rachel Peart, daughter of son William L. Peart. A second codicil
same date mentions a previous deed to son William L. Peart and makes it clear
that sons, Benjamin and William were living at the time of writing. Witnesses:
E. S. (Eben Smith) Kelly, William L. Peart, Samuel McMaster.

In 1821 William Peart Sr. had conveyed to William Jr. 300 acres 80 perches in
the south part of Pine Grove and had agreed in 1828 to convey another parcel of
248 acres including grist and saw mills; this latter sale was consumated by the
widow Susan in 1832.

On 20 June 1842 Alcy Pert, widow of William L. Peart late of Pine Township,
deceased intestate, petitioned for guardianships for her children, Eliza Jane,
Margaret M., Else Anne, Nancy G., Mary Adeline, and Esther E. Peart, all minors
under fourteen years. A. L. Robinson was so appointed with James Cochran as
Surety in the amount of $600.

On 21 September 1846 an inquest of partition was requested concerning the real
estate of William L. Peart of Pine Township, 348 acres adjoining James Cochran,
Samuel Hutchinson and land previously sold by William L. Peart to Walter Sloan
his brother-in-law. Peart's heirs were eleven children: Rachel wife of William
Meaner of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, Rosanna wife of Samuel Cochran,

Margaret, Else Anne, Nancy, Adeline and Easter Peart, minors.

Before his death William L. Peart had contracted to sell part of his land,
including the mills to his brother-in-law, Walter Sloan, but there was much
delay in completing the transaction; suit was brought against Robert E. Brown,
Administrator of Peart's estate and on 3 January 1849 subpoenas were issued for
all of the heirs.

On 21 December 1846 Sharon Manteer was appointed guardian of Eliza Jane and
Margaret Peart; both girls were then over 14 years and both guardianships were
discharged 3 March 1856. Bond was for $500 with Jonathan Sloan as Surety. On

guardian for Nancy G., Adeline and Esther E. Peart, all under 14 years. Bond
was for $1000 with William Robinson as Surety.

This Peart estate was continued over many years until all of the children were
grown up and until after the death of the widow. There were distribution
payments from time to time with many releases and receipts. In a final

William — Susan. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

During the Revolutionary War Samuel McTeer was enrolled as a private in the
Third Battalion, Cumberland County Militia; in March of 1781 he was called out
on tour of duty with the 8th class in the 4th Company, and in April he was
listed in the 8th class 5th Company under Captain Thomas Laird and Colonel
Samuel Erwin.

In 1790 Samuel McTeer's Allen Township household had one male over sixteen
years, three younger males and three females.

Samuel McTeer, then aged 40 years, on 4 February 1793 was included in a militia
list of all male residents of Cumberland County between the ages of 18 and 45
years, but none of his sons were then old enough to qualify.

The will of Samuel McTeer, farmer of Allen Township, written 18 September 1800,
probated 9 October 1800, bequeathed to wife Rosanna, one-third of all rents and
profits from real estate for her lifetime, choice of horses, her saddle and
bridle, bed and bedding, choice of cows, chest of drawers, tea table and
one-half of the kitchen furniture; to sons James, John and Samuel McTeer, 200
pounds each; to son Sherron, 300 pounds; to daughters Margaret, Jane and Else
Mateer, 150 pounds each. The children to share "according to the rule above"
after their mother's death in the estate set aside for her living; if there is
more than enough to pay the legacies or not enough, the children are to share
equally in the profit or loss; and "if any of my children die minors having no
issue, then their share or shares are to be equally divided between my
surviving children." Executors: his wife, William Bryson, and Robert McTeer
of Allen Township, they to have power "to advertise, sell and convey" the real
estate. Witnesses: C. Quigley, John McDanel.

On 4 MAy 1827 John Mateer, Sharon Mateer, William L. Peart and Elia (Else in a
later mention), formerly Elia Mateer, Philip Brumbaugh and Jane his wife,
formerly Jane Mateer, and Walter Sloan as guardian of the minor children of his
wife Margaret, formerly Margaret Mateer, all of Armstrong County, gave a Power
of Attorney to Alexander Mahon of Cumberland County to receipt for their shares
of the money owed on their father's estate and to release James Dunlap's
mortgage. When Dunlap bought the plantation in 1805 it was agreed that he
should give a mortgage for one-third the purchase money with the interest to go
to the widow for her lifetime; the widow is now dead and the money is due to
the heirs.

Samuel married Rosanna Quigley 23 Sep 1779. Rosanna (daughter of John Quigley and Molly) died 9 Aug 1826, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In 1800 Rosanna McTeer's household had four females, herself 26-45 years and
three little girls under ten years; also four males, tow 16-26, one 10-16 and
one under ten years.

On 8 March 1805 Rosanna Mateer as "mother and best friend" came into Orphans
Court and asked that guardians be appointed for Margaret, Jane, Sharron and
Aylce Mateer, minor orphans under 14 years, children of Samuel Mateer deceased.
William Bryson and James Quigley were so appointed. At the same Court Samuel
Mateer aged over 14 years, son of Samuel Mateer deceased, asked that Thomas
Metzler be appointed his guardian.

On 12 June 1805 Rosanna Mateer and William Bryson as Executors of the Estate of
Samuel Mateer of Allen Township, conveyed to James Dunlap, for 1348.07.06
pounds (he being the highest bidder at a public vendue) tow parcels of land in
Allen Township, one tract of 150 acres and another of 34 acres. These lands,
which had been devised to Samuel Mateer by the will of his father James Mateer
the Elder, are now bounded by properties of Michael Hurst, Jacob Shelly, John
MacDonald, C. Bowman and the heirs of James Mateer. After Samuel Mateer's
death "the aforesaid Rosanna Mateer and William Bryson and one Robert Mateer,
which said Robert is since deceased" were appointed exectors of Samuel's esate
with power to sell the real estate as in the present deed.

A final report in 1806 of the surviving Executors, Rosanah Mateer and William
Bryson, showed a balance of 1939.18.03 pounds to be distributed -- a sum quite
ample to pay the legacies specified in the will.

Shortly after the date of this final settlement for her husband's estate,
Rosanna Mateer and her children moved to Armstrong County, Pennsylvania,
probably travelling thence with some of her Quigley relatives. In December
1811 Jane and Sharon Matteer, "children of Samuel Matteer of Cumberland County"
petitioned in Armstrong County for guardians, and on 16 December 1811 John
Matteer and John Quigley were so appointed.

About 1807 Rosanna married a young Irishman name McCune, "who left her and
married another in Washington County." About this same time she acquired the
improvement on a tract of 429 acres 58 perches located in District #8 northwest
of the Alleghany River on a branch of Limestone Creek, near West Mosgrove in
what is now Franklin Township, Armstrong County. Though the improvement on
this property had been begun 16 November 1793 by William Todd Esquire, the
final land survey and patent to Archibald McCall and Jonathan H. Sloan was not
accomplished until 29 October 1829. Apparently all preceding conveyances were
for the improvement only as no relevent Mateer or McCune deeds are recorded in
Armstrong County.

The will of Rosanna McCune, written 31 July 1826, probated 23 August 1826,
being "infirm in body but of sound mind", bequeathed "the farm on which I now
live" to her son Samuel Quigley McCune, also a black mare and a choice of cows,
featherbed and bedding; the other personal property to be sold at public vendue
with the balance after payment of debts to son Samuel Quigley McCune, he to pay
the legacies: to Jane Sloan, daughter of Walter Sloan of Kittanning, $20,
feather bed and bedding when she is of age or is married. "But if Jane does
not arrive at either of the above terms of life", the legacy is to go to her
sister Elizabeth Sloan on the same conditions, otherwise to revert to Samuel
Quigley McCune; $10 each to the following children: Rosanna daughter of John
P. Quigley, Rosanna daughter of William L. Peart, Samuel son of Robert Colgin
deceased, Samuel son of John Mattear, Margaret daughter of Sharon Matear, and
Samuel son of Walter Sloan; also $5 each for the "purchas of a black silk
frock" to "my two surviving daughters", Jane Brumbaugh and Alsy Pert; to Ester
wife of John P. Quigley; to Jeane wife of Sharron Mateer; and to Margaret wife
of John Mateer. Executors: John P. Quigley, my brother, and John Matear, my
son. Witnesses: Samuel McMaster, John Montgomery.
