    General J. J. Pershing, the present commander in chief of all the U S Armies, whose father and I were both born and raised on the same farm, belongs to the pioneers of Revolution days above referred to. The following is from the Greensburg Daily Tribune of Oct 20th 1915:
    Dr J. H. Pershing furnished documentary evidence to the Civil and Industrial committee with the names of five of his forebears by the name of Pershing who lived here in pioneer days before the location of Hannestown and the erection of the first courthouse west of the Alleghany mountains, was awarded a gold medal, having priority in data over all other contestants in Westmoreland County."
