Mary Cable who marrid Pringle was the daughter of John Martin Cable. According to the Pringle records, her sister Catherine married Phillip, she married to George. Do not know which is the correct information, Mary marrying Philliip or George. Hope this is of some help. Donna John Martin3 Cable (Jacob2, Philip1) (Source: Tasker Genealogies - Pringle Family, p. 1.) was born 1750 in Franklin Co., PA, and died 1809 in Indiana or Westmoreland Co., PA. He married Mary Christina Warner 1773. Notes for John Martin Cable:Historical Marker at Pringle Hill Cemetery reads: 1782 JOHN MARTIN CABLE (Pringle Hill) On this land once known as Elk Pasture the first white children of the Allegheny Wilderness were born to John Martin Cable, rontiersman and part-time Dunkard preacher, who came from Bedford in 1782. His homestead was occupied in 1795 by George & Philip Pringle who had married Cable's daughters Mary & Catherine, and for whom this locality is named. Both couples are buried in this pioneer cemetery. The Cable family left the region about 1788 to live in Frankstown, Blair County, PA. BOOK: THE SUMMERHILL STORY by Frank P. Alcamo, Cambria Public Library, Pennsylvania Room The earliest family to settle north of the Little Conemaugh River was John Martin Cable at Elk Pasture, between Summerhill and Wilmore. This tract, it is believed, was surveyed to Samuel Griffin in 1773 and contained a cabin built by a man named Knott. Hannah Cable is said to have been born here in 1783. She is recorded as having died in Indiana County (1830) as Hannah Cable Coleman. Her birthplace is the former Victor Beyer farm, not far east of Summerhill. Two of Cable's daughters, Mary and Christina, married George and Philip Pringle. They located (1795) in the area known as Pringle Hill, about 1 1/2 miles from Summerhill.
