Biography

From Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania:

He married Elizabeth Turney or Dorney, as it was more correctly spelled, October 4, 1803, born in Upper Hanover township, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, April 15, 1786, daughter of Daniel and Margaret (Miller) Dorney. Her father was born in eastern Pennsylvania, in 1750, her mother in 1759. They moved to Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, and located near Hannastown, two miles northeast of Greensburg, when their daughter Elizabeth was an infant of a few weeks. He died in 1802, she in 1829, in Kittanning. The Turneys or Dorneys emigrated from Holland to eastern Pennsylvania at an early date and were doubtless of French or Huguenot stock. Daniel Dorney had four brothers, three of whom moved to Ohio, Tennessee and North Carolina at about the same time, one of their descendants being chief justice of Tennessee in 1882, many of the descendants residing in North Carolina.
