Isaac McMichael (1756-1823), who by his headstone, died on Feb 6, 1823,is stated to have come over the mountains with his family, at an early date - but at a date which is no later than 1787. By the history, he is said to have taken land in Robinson Township; Mrs. Jameson states that the first land was close to the present Ambridge, Penn. But she states further, that Isaac, being injured while clearing land, gave up his claim for a horse, and went to join his brother John, at Carnegie, Penn., some30 miles distant. (However, in giving up the land, Isaac appears to have made a serious mistake, since the land was later found to be rich in oil.) On joining his brother, he was given title to half of the latter's land. Mrs. Jeffries quoted the terms: That John McMichael and wife of Robinson Township, Allegheny County, to Isaac McMichael of RobinsonTownship, in Allegheny County, for a consideration of $2000, transfers313 acres of land, being a part of a tract of land called Danwick, which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by patent, dated January 12, 1814,granted to John McMichael, the same being enrolled in Patent Book H Vol.10, Page 106. It is recorded on March 18, 1819, in Deed Book 2 d A026,Page 95.6
