General Notes: Husband - John Stitt

---

When a young man, he left the "land of brown, heath and shaggy wood" to seek a home in the New World, and was supposed to have settled in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, about 1818.

He was a miller and farmer all his life. A fine mechanic, he built the old Stitt mill along Carnahan run in 1818, in what is now Parks township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. This was one of the early mills of the county, and all of the wheels were made by hand. So well known and generally recognized was the superiority of his process, that the saying became popular, whenever a comparison of merit was needed, "as good as the wheat in Stitt's mill." Mr. Stitt lived there, operating the mill, until his death. His remains were interred in a private burying ground on Capt. Henry Truby's hill.
