General Notes: Husband - William Fell

---

In the fall of 1796 he and his son George came from Westmoreland County, PA, to Mercer County, and selected of a tract of land in the south part of West Salem Township, and then returned to their home. They again came out in the spring of 1797, built a cabin, and made a permanent settlement. In the spring of 1798 he moved his family to his new home in the wilderness of Mercer County. He was accompanied by his brother, Nathan. [HMC 1888, 905]

He was born in Bucks County, PA, removing to Westmoreland County after reaching manhood. He was there married and followed weaving in summer, and teaching school in the winter. In the fall of 1796 he and his son, George W., came to Mercer County, and selected a piece of land in what is now the southern part of West Salem Township. In the spring of 1797 they came back to the land, built a log cabin, and commenced a settlement in the dense forest. He returned to Westmoreland County early in July, leaving his son, George W., then a boy thirteen years old, to continue the settlement, and he remained seven weeks longer before joining his father in Westmoreland County. Mr. Fell moved his family to Mercer County in the spring of 1798, and lived upon the same farm through all the hardships and privations of pioneer days, up to his death. [HMC 1888, 1176]
