General Notes: Husband - Joseph Douthitt


He was born in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, and came to Beaver County with his parents, who located on a farm in Chippewa township. They next removed to Darlington township in the same county, and settled for the time on Little Beaver creek. Later they purchased two hundred acres, this constituting a farm on which their granddaughter, Emma (Douthitt) Douthitt, later resided. Joseph Douthitt was an extensive cattle raiser, and the house in which he lived was on the old stage road between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. He kept a tavern on the farm for twenty-five years. He was a prominent factor in Democratic councils and served as director of the poor for Beaver County for many years.


General Notes: Wife - Jane McMinn
