General Notes: Husband - John Moorhead


He was born near Blairsville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, but early in life migrated from his native place. He was very prosperous, becoming the owner of three woolen mills, a number of tanneries and about thirty farms. He was also a stock-raiser, driving cattle to Philadelphia over the old turnpike. In politics he was originally a Democrat, but later identified himself with the Whigs. In 1848 he was made associate judge of Westmoreland County. He was an active member of the Presbyterian church.
