Alan was born in 1738 in County Armagh and died in 1801 in New London, PA. 

He attended Trinity University and had a wife and two children in Ireland but they did not travel with him to Amercia in 1765.  Unknown if they were deceased or divorced but death seems more probable. 

He would have been at Trinity about 1756-1760 time frame. 

He was Presbyterian and a veteran of the Revolution serving as a Captain in Montgomerys Flying Camp Battalion and commanding the reserve forces for the battle of Brandywine. 

He was married to Rachael Menough and had one son, John Welch Cuningham. 

 

I am seeking any information of Alan in Ireland and ancestors.  I have no data other than that in his obituary.
