Alexander McCurdy came to America in 1756, settling on the banks of Crooked Creek in Westmoreland county, (now included within Indiana county). Subsequently he lived near the Salt works, on the Conemaugh river. He was a revolutionary soldier in Captain Matthew Scott's Company, Thirteenth Pennsylvania Regiment, and was wounded in both arms in Yorktown and became a pensioner. For a short time he accompanied his son Samuel in the War of 1812, and was employed in training soldiers in military exercises. He possessed considerable wealth, was a noted musician, a strict seceder and well known for his knowledge of the scriptures. He was married about 1785 to Jane Heridenon.
