The Allisons were among the first white settlers in Indiana County. Robert Allison, the founder of the family in this country, was a native of County Derry, Ireland, whence he came to this country as a young man, in 1750, locating in Cumberland County. Pa. In 1752 he married a lady by the name of Rebecca (Beckie) Beard, a granddaughter of Charles Stuart, a descendant of the house of Stuart. Robert and Beckie had been passengers on the same vessel and formed an acquaintance at that time which resulted in their marriage two years later. The result of this union was six sons and one daughter, the names of the sons being Tate, John, Andrew, Robert, James and Thomas; the daughter, Jane, married William Hamilton. The Allison family fled from Scotland during the time of the persecution of the Protestants, settling in the North of Ireland. ~ from “Indiana County Pennsylvania Her People, Past and Present” Volume II, page 851 by Prof. J.T.
