General Notes: Husband - William Guy

---

He was born in Ireland and came to America in 1820, when twenty-six years of age. He came almost directly to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and there settled at a time when the region was little more than a wilderness, save for a few isolated communities. He was a weaver by trade, but the community was too primitive to permit of his plying that craft with any great hope of success, so he took up farming in Hempfield township and may be numbered among that hardy band of pioneers who cleared the land of woods and turned wilderness into garden and meadow. He became identified with the Democratic party and wielded considerable influence in its local organization.
