9. | Siggins, Alexander (3.Sarah3, 2.Samuel2, 1.Alexander1) was born on 1 May 1793 in On board a ship.; died on 7 Apr 1858 in Youngstown, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, United States. Notes:
Alexander Siggins was a son of John and Sarah Siggins. He was born May 1,
1793 on board the ship in which the family came from Ireland to America.
John was married in Venango County, November 1, 1816 to Margaret Kinnear
and settled at Youngsville. Alexander Siggins was a blacksmith, and was a
expert in that business; he owned a large farm extending from "York Hill"
to near the center of Youngsville Borough; he built the house now
occupied (in 1912) by Mrs. M.B. Davis; "it was the best house in the
county, in fact there are few, if any today, that are better, and
although now nearly one hundred years old, it is still in a good state of
preservation". He joined the Methodist Church while a young man and was a
leader in all church matters throughout his long life in Youngsville. He
lived a quiet and and honest Christian life, with nothing to make a
lengthy biography, but Youngsville lost one of its best citizens when he
was called home. His farm contained a fine tract of timber. Later this
was divided among his children, all except Benjamin receiving their share.
Benjamin had asked that he might be allowed to use his portion of the
estate in obtaining an education. His wish was granted. Alexander
Siggins and his wife joined the church in 1820. "Uncle Alick", as he was
familiarly called, organized a Sunday School of which he was
Superintendent.
