General Notes: Husband - John Large


He was a Revolutionary soldier, born in New Jersey, of German parentage. He came to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, prior to 1790, settling in Mifflin township. Later he left his farm there to the management of his son Henry and moved to Jefferson township and bought a tract of one hundred and sixty acres, later the site of the town of Large, named in his honor. He operated distilleries in both townships, being the first to operate a still in either Mifflin or Jefferson. He was a very tall man, straight, strong and powerful. [GPHWP, 1154]

In 1810 he came to Mifflin township, Allegheny County, where he bought a farm which contained 167 acres. [HAC 1889 II, 393]

He located on Ginger hill, then removed to Coal hill, and later bought a farm near Lebanon church, which he sold to [his son?] Jonathan. [HAC 1889 II, 496]

He was a soldier in the Revolution.
He was a native of New Jersey, and came to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, about 1796, locating on the Boggs farm in Upper St. Clair township. Later he moved to Jefferson township, purchased the farm adjoining that owned by Henry Large, and built a distillery. [HAC 1889 II, 513]
