' ' They were known as i 'The family that came from the head of the moor." With this brief introduction we give a history of the Moor- head family. We do not know certainly the first name of the father of this family, but from frequent mention of "Donald" in some of the old papers connected with the family we believe that to be the first name of the father, and that his wife's name before marriage was Esther Parkson. It seems that they had but the one child, whose name was William. Early in life he was employed by one of the landowners. In the same family was a young lady whom they had adopted in childhood, giving her the advantages of education and culture. In after years, William married this young lady and leased a tract of land, on which they lived happily. Her mistress was still kind to her, giving her many things to furnish her new home, the most valuable gift being a well-selected library. The con- stant reading of these books gave them enlarged ideas and also a desire for greater liberty than they then enjoyed. To them was born a son, whom they named Alexander. Some years after this there came to them a strong desire to go to the new world — America. This desire was increased by the favorable reports of the new land of liberty, where all were on equal foot- ing — free from class or caste. After coming to this conclusion, they commenced saving as much as pos- sible of their small earnings in order that they might have means sufficient to pay their passage across the seas. After years of careful saving, they secured the amount and began preparations for crossing the waters, when a fever of some malignant type made its appearance in their parish. The mother early be- came one of its victims and the husband laid his wife in the "kirkyard.' : After this, he thought he could not leave the grave of his wife, saying he "did na think God intended them to leave the land of their birth.' : But, in less than one year, the father was stricken with the same disease and his body was laid beside that of his wife. After the death of the mother and father, the son, Alexander, went across to Ireland, where he was married to a young Irish girl, named Jennie Clyde. To them was born a son, whom they also named Alexander. They had determined to come to Ameri- ca, but, when the son was about fifteen years of age, the father died. The widow, having been interested in the stories that her husband had given to her in his lifetime of the advantages that they would have if they would emigrate to America, believed it to be her duty to carry out the wish of her deceased husband. With this thought, she sold her property, and, when her son was seventeen years old, they sailed for this country in the year 1764. The voyage was so long and dangerous that the mother sometimes thought that indications of Providence said to her that it was not God's will that the Moorhead family should land in America, and when she would recall that her hus- band, as well as his parents, had desired to come to this land and had been prevented by death she prayed earnestly to God for their safe journey. During the storms she would feel that God was angry with her for leaving the land of her birth and would rex^roach her- self, saying, "If it is God's will that my only son is to be taken from me, I wish I had remained at home and buried him under Ireland's green soil." But she said God revealed himself to her one night when they were tempest-tossed by whispering to her so tenderly, "Peace; be still. Know that I am God. I hold the waves of the sea in the hollow of my hand." She said, "From that hour, I had no fear. In fact, I was happy during the remainder of our voyage. When in 5 company with my son, we would talk and plan about what we would do when we came to land.' 1 After twenty-six weeks of sailing, they landed at Philadel- phia. Having rested here for some days they went to Waynesboro, Franklin county. The mother and son lived together there. On the same vessel on which they sailed was a family named Morrow and they had a daughter whose name was Mary. This family also located in Frank- lin county. Then, as now, Cupid sometimes placed his dart in the young and tender heart and the friend- ship which was formed between the young people during their voyage developed into a pure and con- stant love, and they were married in 1769. To them were born, in Franklin county, three children — James Margaret and Esther. In the year 1780, Alexander Moorhead. his wife and three children and his mother, Jennie Moorhead, came to Indiana county, purchasing a tract of land lying between Yellow and Twolick creeks, near Ho- mer City. Indiana county, at that time, was one vast forest. The only highways were paths, called trails, through the dense forest, and upon these no vehicle could be moved. Their traveling was done on horses, the path being so narrow they were conducted single file through the woods, the horse in front wearing a bell and the others following its sound. When the Moor- head family crossed the mountains, three other fami- 6 ESTHER MOOR HEAT). Esther Moorhead, daughter of Alexander and Mary Morrow Moorhead, was born in Franklin county, and died near Homer City. PRUDENCE MOORHEAD. Prudence Moorhead, daughter of Alexander and Mary Morrow Moorhead, was born at the home- stead near Homer City, and was married to Mr. Meek, locating at Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident of her marriage is given on Page 9. ALEXANDER MOORHEAD. Alexander Moorhead, youngest son of Alexander and Mary Morrow Moorhead, was born near Homer City. He went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was married, and engaged in farming. This closes the history of the family of Alexan- der Moorhead, who came to Indiana county from Franklin county in 1780. 19 ALEXANDER THOMPSON MOORHEAD. Alexander Thompson Moorhead, the first child of James and Nancy Thompson Moorhead, was born June 1, 1800, on the farm near Homer City. At the early age of fourteen years, he drove his father's team of four horses to Philadelphia, carrying produce for the merchants of Indiana, and bringing back merchandise they had purchased. It took about six weeks to make the trip. The public roads were not as they are now. This was before the pike from Kittanning to Philadelphia was built and the makers of those old driveways seemed to have but one object in view — to keep on high ground. Instead of going around the hills, they crossed over them. It was la- borious work for the driver, as well as for the horses. In making trips to Philadelphia, generally two or more teamsters traveled together and when they came to one of the long mountains would put all the teams to one wagon and pull it to the summit, and then re- turn for another, until all were taken up. For this reason it was not an infrequent occurrence for them to stay at the same hotel two nights. But, severe as the labor was, they had their pleasures. Their own beds and feed troughs were carried with them. At night, the horses were not put into stables but were hitched to each side of the wagon tongue. After the teams had been cared for the evenings were spent in singing and story telling. They were happy, and enjoyed 20 ■:■■--* :•:■;■:•:•:■:■:-■.■.'.'.'•:■:•."■:•:-:■:-■••-■:•:■:■:■:■:•:■:•■•■ ; . ALEXANDER THOMPSON MOORHEAD, SR. five children — Mary Jane, Margaret Thompson, John Calvin, a daughter, March 10, 1847, who died ten days after her birth, and Clara, March 29, 1850, who died one year later. On the Ninth day of November, 1850, he was married to Mrs. Nancy Wills, who died November 3, 1883. We are now coming to the close of a busy life. Alexander Thompson Moorhead performed well his part as a citizen and christian. Taking an active part in politics he was originally a Whig, and during the existence of that party was elected county com- missioner and filled many other positions of honor and trust. Upon the formation of the Republican party, he became one of its supporters, being what would now be termed a stalwart Republican. But few christian men were more deeply attached to the church of his preference than he, although not sectarian in the common acceptance of the term, but with kind feelings toward all christian people, by whatever name they were known. He was a warm- hearted, hospitable gentleman who never seemed so happy as when entertaining friends, and had special enjoyment in attending all the meetings of the church in which he was specially interested. When residing on the farm in White township, his home was known as the ''preachers' headquarters. ' : No effort seemed too great to make his guests happy, and the driving horses were always at their command. 23 A man of strong will, when once an opinion was formed it would require convincing arguments to change it. Physically, he was well developed and always enjoyed good health. A half hour before his death, to a son proffering to support him while he crossed the room, he said, "No, my son, don't do that ; no one has ever had to support your father. 7 ' He often said it was his desire, if agreeable to his Heavenly Father's will, to be called home without becoming a weak and helpless man. His wish was granted. He attended church and Sabbath school the Sabbath before his death. The end was peaceful and happy. To him death had no terrors. He pa- tiently waited the message to call him home and while conversing with his son-in-law, Joseph B. Adair, the messenger came and his spirit soared away to his God who gave it, on the morning of the Eighth of September, 1884. His body was buried in the Oakland cemetery, there to mingle with the dust of those whom he loved and who preceded him to the spirit world. JAMES MCKEE MOORHEAD. James McKee Moorhead, eldest son of Alexan- der Thompson and Mary McKee Moorhead, was born near Shelocta, March 12, 1823. He was accidentally killed November 8, 1836, returning from an animal show at Indiana. With two of his comrades, they 24 companions, who was riding a blind but spirited horse, came up to him, saying he would ride over him. None of the party thought he would do so, but, coming dangerously near, he made an effort to get away. The horse was suddenly turned and, rearing, struck the boy on the head, crushing his skull. He was gathered up unconscious and carried to the home of his uncle, William Moorhead, on Philadelphia street, where he died in a few hours. JOSEPlf McCLOTJD MOORHEAD. Joseph McCloud Moorhead, son of Alexander Thompson and Mary Morrow McKee Moorhead, was born, August 21, 1827, at Diamondville, Indiana county.

His was the first milk wagon on the streets of Indiana. Daring the time he was conducting the dairy, he read medicine under the direction of the late Dr. Thomas St. Clair. Some time later, he sold the dairy and en- gaged in the mercantile business in company with his father, in White township. In 1855, his dwelling house and its contents were burned, and he then moved to Taylorsville, Green township, where he as- sociated with his brother in merchandising.

Early in life he entered a printing office, first working with James M'Cahan, the founder of the American Gazette, the first paper established in the county. At that early period, all the mails were car- ried on horseback. Mr. M'Cahan had the contract of carrying- the mail from Kittanning to Ebensburg, and three days of each week the young man Moorhead was engaged in carrying the mail between the two points. Soon after this, his father, James Moorhead, bought the plant and he remained in the same office for some years, then went to Philadelphia, working in the leading offices of that city. May 2, 1834, William Moorhead married Susan Wright Bodine, of Mt. Holly, New Jersey, in Phila- delphia. There were born to them the following children: Clarissa Elizabeth, William Wallace, James Francis, Nancy Letitia, Margaret Ann, John Bodine and Charlotte Lavinia. Some time after his marriage, he purchased an entirely new outfit for a printing office, and returned to Indiana and continued the publication of the paper formerly owned by his father, calling it the Indiana Register. This paper was undoubtedly the most able and neatly executed county paper published in west- 59 ern Pennsylvania at that time.

He entered the office of the late William M. Stewart, Esq., and began the study of law. While a student in Mr. Stewart' s office, in connection with Joseph M. Thompson, Esq., and Colonel John F. Young, both deceased, he established a Democratic paper which supported James Buchanan for president in 1856. In 1857, he retired from the journalistic held, and in September of the same year was admitted to the bar, and entered upon the suc- cessful career that ended with his elevation to the Su- preme Bench. So great was his popularity that at the time of his election his majority in Indiana county on the Democratic ticket was far in excess of the two thousand majority given the Republican candidate for governor. He was a clear and profound thinker and a strong and logical reasoner. Every enterprise hav- ing for its object the advancement and improvement of the town or count v found in him an active and en- ergetic supporter; especially was this so of education- al or agricultural projects. Popular education had no more zealous or faithful supporter. The State Nor- mal School at Indiana stands as a monument to his devotion to education. Without his industry, perse- verance and aid it would perhaps never have been es- tablished. For several years, he was president of its board of trustees and held that position at the time of his death. In his home his studied effort was for the comfort and happiness of his wife and family. 6i Mrs. Clark's death occurred January 17, 1887.
