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, frontiersman 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.
