\n2. John<\/strong> (1764-1834) b. Glasgow; Franklin Co. then Allegheny Co., PA 1799
\n3. Robert<\/strong> ( \u00a0) b. Glasgow? William’s will says he was “bonded” in lieu of inheritance. Had he received a portion of the family farm before the will was written?
\n4.\u00a0Charles<\/strong> (1773-1859) b. Glasgow?; Mifflin Twp., Allegheny Co.
\n5. Elizabeth “Betsy”\u00a0<\/strong>(\u00a0 \u00a0) b. Glasgow?; Mifflin Twp. (m. William Allison, possibly brother to George who married sister Susannah)

*see William & Hannah’s Last Will & Testaments<\/a> for clues: Robert was given a “bond,” while the rest, except Charles, were each given 1\/4th parts of their father’s real estate. Hannah mentions “George.” Could “Charles” have been part of George’s name?<\/p>\n
