In History of Laawrence Cty PA 1770-1877 by P.A. Durant pg 109 it states: about the year
1790 William Cairns came from Cty Derry, Ire and settled in Delaware. Married Nancy
Martin and moved to Chester, PA and then Wetmoreland PA, one of the first settlers in
Shenango, PA in 1798. Had two children in Chester, Racel b 19 Jul 1798 in Shenango. Had
nine children, three girls and five boys living to become adults. Rachel married a
Hawthorne, another dau married Joseph Baldwin. Brothers names not listed in article, but
presume they might be Caldwell, Robert, Wm H, Madison H, Edw B who moved to Illinois.
Mary Cairn, may have been a daughter that married Peter Daniel Minnick. She died in 1824
after bearing four children. Hope this may be of some help.
