Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 1: A to Beaufort, p. 168

Alleghany, a river, which, rising in the north part of Pennsylvania, unites with the Monongahela at Pittsburg to form the Ohio. Though it flows through a hilly country, yet it is navigable for nearly 200 miles above Pittsburg, whence by the Ohio and the Mississippi the navigation extends to the Gulf of Mexico.
