Archibald Loudon

Archibald began life as a farmer on the ridge a little to the northeast of where New Kingstown now is, and near where his father settled when he came into the Cumberland Valley. He and John Walker, a neighbor, engaged at manufacturing iron at Mt.Holly, Cumberland count in the years of 1800-1801. The venture was a financial failure for both partners, they lost heavily. Archibald continued to live on his farm near New Kingstown until about 1820, when he exchanged it for a farm lying on the Juniata river, opposite Newport, Perry county and with his family removed there. He died there 22 March 1832. His wife died five days after her husband. From Biographical Annals of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, (Chicago: The Genealogical Publishing Co., 1905), pages 27-30.
