I'm looking for descendants of Peter Parchman, a pioneer in Allegheny County. He was an Indian Scout during Lord Dunmore's War (with Simon Kenton) in 1774, a soldier for the 13th/9th Virginia Continental Line raised at Fort Pitt during the Recolutionary War. He was wounded by an Indian Arrow during an expedition into Ohio in 1778 and settled in Wilkinsburg after the war. He was one of the original petitioners for the erection of Allegheny County. The Old Beulah Presbyterian Church was built on the land of his son John Perchment. Three of John's sons were physician-surgeons during the Civil War.
Peter's children were Agnes Perchment Sprague (1791), Elizabeth Perchment Deitrick (1792), Martha Perchment Kain (1794), John Perchment (1796), Mary Perchment Forsythe (1798), Margaret Perchment Price (1801), Peter Perchment (1801), Julia Perchment Amberson(1803), Sarah Perchment Thompson, Ann Perchment McQuillian (1809), Hannah Perchment Grant (1812), and Emily Perchment Delaney (1817)
Peter had 2 brothers, Philip and John Parchman, who were frontiersmen in Middle Tennessee in 1789 and in North Mississippi in 1819. Peter's grand nephew, William Philip King, was the youngest defender to die at The Alamo in 1836.
A fourth brother, Jacob Parchman, was scalped by Indians in West Virginia in 1785.
Most Parchmans today live in Texas and Tennessee.
On June 30, 1923, it was reported that Ann Marshall Price, young daughter of Obed K. Price and Mazie Winnett Price and a great-great-great granddaughter of Peter Parchmant of Revolutionary War fame attended the unveiling yesterday of the bronze tablet memorializing her famous ancestor at the old Forsyth(e) log cabin currently located at 5711 Penn Avenue at Negley Avenue. Parchmant once made the log cabin his home when it was originally located out Fifth Avenue on the border of Wilkinsburg. Mrs. William S. Foster was a member of the DAR tablet committee.
The tablet was a gift to the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution from Thomas Mellon, son of James R. Mellon whose late wife was prominent in DAR circles. Thomas Mellon owns the cabin currently and was congratulated on preserving it.
Parchment was born in 1749. He served in the French and Indian War under General Braddock and was wounded in the battle at Braddock's Field. He was a member of the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment from 1777 to 1780 and later was made captain of the the Fifth Company of the Allegheny County Militia. He died in 1844. His daughter Nellie Parchment Forsythe lived in the house until her death in 1889. She married Hugh Forsyth who came to America from Ireland. They had a daughter Margret Forsyth.
The Forsyth Log House was moved in the 1950 from Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh to McLaughlin Road in Upper St. Clair Township, Pennsylvania.
