  Notes	Little is know of William B. Loghry. It is tradition that he came from Ireland. He resided for sometime in eastern Pennsylvania probably in the Northumberland County and also in Luzerne County about ten miles from Wilkes-Barre. One of the same and undoubtedly the above, was a Pennsylvania soldier during the Revolutionary War. The 1790 Census shows one William Lockry residing then in Luzerne County whose family consisted of one male child under 10 years of age and a wife and one daughter. This coincides with the tradition of the family as told by Mrs. Hannah Jones of Steuben County, NY. Mrs. Jones said that when William came to the area, he went back into the woods ten miles from any house and cleared a place and built a log house to which he took his family, which then consisted of a daughter and two sons, who were then two years of age. When absent from home shortly after they had settled there, one of the sons sickened and died. As the weather was warm, decomposition soon set in and as the father did not return and there was no help at hand, Mrs. Loghry alone dug the grave and buried her child. This had to be a heart-breaking job. In the tax list of Tioga Point, now Athens,Pa, for the year 1796, there was a William Loughry assessed for $1034 and Michael Loughry for twelve dollars but both names are missing from the census roll of 1800 when it was possible they had both removed to Steuben County, New York. It is unknown where he married his wife, Nancy Santee whose family also came from Pennsylvania. Both he and his wife, Nancy are buried at Brown's Crossing, Cameron, Steuben County, NY.
