Immigrated in 1796.
From Carolyn Harbaugh -- History of Venango Co., PA:
Alexander McElhaney settled at Pithole in 1796 and after a brief residence of several months returned to Centre county, Indian troubles having become alarmingly probable. Several years later he came back but in a short time removed to the vicinity of Waterloo. In 1819 he purchased four hundred acres of land from Jonathan Pratt and part of this is now the farm of his son, James McElhaney. He married Mary Ann Dawson, who was connected with one of the oldest family of Allegheny township, and they reared a large family.
