An article about Archibald in a 1938 Ohio State DAR book gives more information [Note 12]: |
|
1812 |
[son] “Andrew was born Oct. 8, 1812, in Penn.; died Oct. 18, 1896, Franklin twp.” |
|
|
|
|
1816 |
“Archibald McNinch came in 1816 from Allegheny County, Penn., to Ohio, and settled |
|
|
near Portsmouth, Scioto County;” |
|
|
|
|
182x |
[Archibald] “later came to Franklin County, and settled near Worthington, Ohio.” |
|
|
|
|
1832 |
“Applied for pension from Franklin County, June 7, 1832.” [“Was an Indian fighter”] |
|
|
|
|
183x |
[Archibald] “Date and place of his death unknown, but thought to be close to Columbus.” |
|
|
“Was survived by widow; and two sons; Archibald; and Andrew J.” |
|
|
“Soldier may be buried in Saunders graveyard, Franklin twp.” |
|
|
|
|
[and] |
“Archibald Jr. was never married; was badly burned when age 4, and had bad feet; |
|
|
after his father's death he lived with his mother until her death; after her death, lived |
|
|
with his brother, Andrew J. McNinch.” |
|
Despite the “Order book 6, p.133. Applied for pension from Franklin County, June 7, 1832” data, |
|
no record of either a pension application nor a pension grant has been found at the present time. |
|
Archibald probably died in the late 1830’s (in his late 60’s or 70’s), probably in Franklin County, |
|
Ohio. It is not clear which wife survived him (“was survived by widow . . .”), since his first wife |
|
was not found on any of the 1820-1830-1840 census records, and there are no other McA/I/Ninch |
|
records in the 1840 census, Franklin County, Ohio. |
|
Archibald’s ‘Unknown Male Children’ in western Pennsylvania (?) |
|
Looking at Archibald’s ‘family table’ above, based on the various Tax Lists and Census records, |
|
there are two unknown McA/Ninch males that are last seen in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania: |
|
“Unknown male 1” (oldest son?), born 1765-1784, age 32-51 in 1816, and |
|
“Unknown male 3” (third son?), born 1800-1810, age 6-16 in 1816, when Archibald went to Ohio. |
|
A “Daniel McNinch” appears on the Allegheny County 1800 Tax List [Note 5], and there is a |
|
‘D[avid?] McA/Ninch’ on the 1800 census in Armstrong County (age 16-26, born 1774-1784) |
|
[NARA M32 Roll 35 pg.199 (also marked 123); MFHN v.IV No.2, May 1996 p.1996-20], and |
|
on the Armstrong County 1807 Tax List [Note 6]. If ‘David’ or ‘Daniel’ was a transcription error, |
|
this could be the same man, and the age matches Archibald’s “Unknown male.1” (oldest son?). |
|
Even though he was an adult in 1800-1807, “Unknown male 1” may have gone to Ohio with |
|
Archibald, since there is no other record of him in Armstrong County. “Unknown male 3” was |
|
only 6-16 in 1816, and would probably have gone to Ohio with Archibald and the rest of the family. |
