Thomas Wilson Abernethy was my great-grandfather.However, it was his father who left Scotland for Pennsylvania.Thomas Abernethy donated a lump sum to a catholic seminary in Loretto so that a student who could not afford to attend the seminary was given an opportunity to do so.It was kind of like a scholarship.
