Hello,
I am seeking information on Thomas Burbridge mentioned in the Family Bio. He is on the 1790 Westmoreland Census with family. I am specifically seeking birth and marriage information, although I have no concrete dates - just bits of information:
Believed to have been born March 26, 1748
He signed the petition asking Governor Penn for protection.
"He resided for several years in New Jersey, then removed to Franklin county, and in 1769 removed to Westmoreland county and settled on a tract of land east of the Loyalhanna, which he purchased from Thomas Burbridge, and which still remains in the possession of the family."
"Thomas Burbridge, Kilgore's company; taken December, 1780; in captivity
three years; resided in Westmoreland County, 1805"
"Thomas Burbridge had land along the Loyalhanna until after the Treaty at Fort Stanwix. In a deed dated Dec. 15, 1769 (recorded Feb. 4, 1875) he "set over and delivered" to Samuel Craig a tract/survey of land lying Loyalhanna at the mouth of Crabtree Run 300 acres for 20 pounds lawful money of Pennsylvania. It was to be paid partially in money and goods on or before the 10th of January. Deed Book A, page 434. It is believed this document was written on the plantation, not at the legal base Carlisle due to the manner and style in which it was written. On April 1, 1774, he sold his remaining 300 acres to Arthur Denniston (Deed recorded 1785). Thomas Burbridge, Arthur Denniston and Samuel Craig are believed to have laid out the foundations for the future New Alexandria-the first community in the Derry Settlement."
