T. H. M. "APPLEBY MANOR" (vol. iii. p. 117).—In reply to the queries propounded by W. H. E. in the last number of the MAGAZINE, I have to state: " Appleby Manor" is the "Manor of Kittanning." It was surveyed 28 March, 1769, on a warrant to the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania, dated 23d February next preceding, In Smith's forthcoming History of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, there is an extended sketch of it, and of the varied and deeply-interesting historical events that have occurred within its limits at different periods in the past. It appears from his researches, that the name of "Appleby" was adopted by Alexander Cobran, who then owned the southern, and Thomas and Robert Duncan, who then owned the northern, purpart of that tract, but just when and why it was adopted is not yet manifest to that author.
