Notes for William Archibald:

From:  Jordan's Genealogical and Personal History of Beaver County, Pennsylvania, Vol. I & II

Author: John W. Jordan

Publisher: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, New York

Published: 1914; 1128 pages; 167 illustrations

 

     "Two generations of the Archibald family of Scotland have made Pennsylvania their home and have there contributed to the growth and development of the regions in which they settled.  One of the heritages that William Archibald received from his ancestors, whose home had ever been in Scotland, was a physique of unusual strength and fullness of vigor.  Because of his exceptional size and manly, handsome bearing he was chosen a member of the Queen's Life Guards, an organization that was the Queen’s private charge, composed of the strongest and most perfectly developed soldiers in the land.  Even among that band of physically perfect men, Mr. Archibald was a conspicuous figure, his six feet four inches of height raising him half a head above most of his comrades.  Physical prowess is not, of course, an attribute for which one is entirely responsible, but the possession of such strength and power and the commanding position it gives among men as human beings is indeed gratifying.  After completing his military service, Mrs. Archibald was for a time employed in the mines of his native country, and in 1872 came to the United States, locating at Arnot, Tioga county, Pennsylvania.  After fifteen years' residence in that locality he moved to Clearfield county and there lived until his death in 1888.  He was a member of the Presbyterian faith, as was his wife, and supported the Republican party.

     Mr. Archibald married, in Scotland, Grace Rainey.  Children 1.  William, a coal miner of Houtzdale, Pennsylvania.  2. John, deceased.  3.  Agnes, married James, Steele, and lives in Duquesne, Pennsylvania.  4.  James, deceased.  5.  Thomas, a resident of Duquesne, Pennsylvania.  6.  Elizabeth, married Henry Peden, and lives at Duquesne, Pennsylvania.  7.  David, of whom further.  8, Charles, a resident of Massillon, Ohio.  9.  Grace, married John Tippit, and lives at Leechburg, Pennsylvania." - continued with information for David Archibald.
