Current Edition

The first article of Issue 43, of the WPGS Quarterly is now available.

Laura Cubbage-Draper’s family narrative establishes the descendants of James Cubbage and Jane Gilfillan, married in 1804 in Allegheny County Pennsylvania.  Presbyterianism and Scots-Irish origins provide a connection between the two families.  Recollections from the couple’s granddaughter, held at the Detre Library and Archives, John Heinz History Center, illuminate unique insights about the family’s homestead located in the present-day Borough of Carnegie. Foundations in Faith: The James Cubbage and Jane Gilfillan Family of Allegheny County includes a genealogical summary that reflects all birth, marriage and death data for each of James and Jane Gilfillan Cubbage’s children.
