Descendants of Cadwallader Blayney

Generation No. 1

      1. Cadwallader¹ Blayney¹ was born Abt. 1755 in Ireland.

Notes for Cadwallader Blayney:
      To date the family archivists have found no record of his date of birth or the place of birth, except that it is somewherein Ireland. Neither have they found a date or place of death. Available records indicate he died in or near West Finley, PA. at the home of his son Henry.

      The exact date he came to the United States has not been determined. Some students of the family history think it is possible that he came after some of the other family members, certainly later than his brothers James and John. No record has been found of his wife's name, or her date of birth or death. The records indicate she was born in Ireland and died in the United States.

      The following quote is taken from page 479 of the Commemorative Biographical record of Washington Co., PA., published in 1893 at Chicago, IL.
      " A biographical record of the county of Washington, PA. would be incomplete were not special mention made in its pages of       the Blayneys, who have their descent from an illustrious family of that name, for many years residents of Ireland---.       Cadwallader was a wealthy land owner and in early times came to America making a settlement in Ohio Co., West Virginia, but       on the death of his wife he made his home with his son Henry during the remainder of his life."
