  Notes	About 1803 John and Mary brought their family to Toby Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. They settled on a farm near what was later "Black Fox Furnace". This farm was one of the show places of Toby Township so it must have been a grand farm and John must have been an excellent farmer. John is buried in the lower cemetery near the Concord Presbyterian Church, Perry Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. Mary is shown on the 1830 census, but not the 1840 census. There are unmarked graves on John's cemetery lot and a stone marked only "MK". One of these graves may be Mary McKibben. (Source - Frontier Families of Toby Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania by Heber Rankin, Janice Yingling, Editor, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, May, 1995, page 33) In 1804, the devisees of the Bingham estate empowered Robert H. Rose, of Silver Lake, Susquehanna county, their attorney in fact. Some time afterward he removed to Clarion county. On May 7, 1811, the devisees of the Bingham estate executed deeds for 200-acre tracts, consideration five shillings, and a mortgage to secure the balance of the purchase money, to Thomas Guthrie, John Wilson, William Moffet, Robert McGarrah, Job Johnson, Joshua Rea, Benjaimin [sic] Coe, Alexander Guthrie, Stephen Travis, John McNutt, Joseph Cathcart, John Jones, John Guthrie, John Parr, and Jesse McConnell, of the Clarion township settlement.
