General Notes: Husband - Jacob Kamerer

---

In 1812 he and his wife removed from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Mercer County, and settled on a farm three miles south of where Greenville now stands. It had a clearing and a small log cabin, the latter being utilized as a sheep pen. When he reached his purchase he drove out the occupants of the cabin, fixed it up and lived in it until such time as he could build a better one. The whole surrounding country was then a comparative wilderness, with a few settlers scattered through the forest at long intervals. Wild game was so abundant that he could at pleasure raise a window and, with his trusty rifle, kill a wild turkey for dinner as the flock strutted through his garden patch. He was an ardent Democrat, and served under Col. Andrew Christy in the War of 1812. He accumulated considerable property, which, through the passing years, he divided among his children, but he resided on the old homestead, which adjoined his first settlement, until his death. He was associated with the Reformed church.
