   Some Pennsylvanians in 1772: Settlers in Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland Counties
   
   From James Veech's The Monongahela of Old or Historical Sketches of Southwestern Pennsylvania to the Year 1800 (Pittsburgh, 1910 edition)
   
   In 1772, and until Westmoreland County was established in 1773, Bedford County encompassed all of southwestern Pennsylvania.
   
   All of present Fayette County — east of a straight line from the mouth of Redstone to the mouth of Jacob's Creek — consisted of two townships, Springhill and Tyrone. Here, the division line was Redstone Creek, from its mouth to where it was crossed by Burd's Road, and from Burd's Road to Gist's, then Braddock's Road to the Great Crossing. That part of Fayette County, northwest of Redstone to the mouth of Jacob's Creek, was a part of Rostraver Township.
   
   The counties of Greene and Washington, west of Fayette, were evidently included in Springhill.
