General Notes: Husband - Jacob Lee

---

He came to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, in 1822, from Centre County, with his family, and settled about a mile south from New Washington. His house was early a preaching place for the Methodists. In 1823, a preacher by name of Samuel Bryson, was holding religious services at Mr. Lee's house. During the prayer he noticed that a pet squirrel the family had, made its escape through the open window. Anxious to let the family know of the escape, he hastily attached it to the closing, thus: "Amen. Jacob, your squirrel's gone."
