General Notes: Husband - John [2] McCalmont


Another source gives his date of birth as Sept 9, 1787.

He came to Venango County, Pennsylvania, with his parents in 1803 and the family located in the forest of Sugar Creek township. He remained under the parental roof several years, assisting in clearing and tilling the homestead farm. He obtained a very fair education for those days, and was engaged for a short time in teaching one of the pioneer schools. On reaching his majority he removed to Franklin and went into the milling business, and many years afterward was engaged in manufactur-ing iron. He was one of the most active and successful business men in the county during that period, but reverses at last overtook him and swept away the accumulations of years of unflagging industry. Nevertheless he con-tinued in business life up to a few years of his death. He always took a very active interest in politics, was county commissioner in 1814, and treas-urer of Venango County from 1816 to 1818. [HVC 1890, 760]

Mr. McCalmont was one of the well remembered pioneers of Franklin, Pennsylvania, where he spent the greater portion of his life. He was an open-hearted, generous giver, and often cramped himself to assist his neighbor. He was kind and affectionate in his family relations, and an upright, honorable citizen.


Notes: Marriage

Another source gives the date of this marriage as Jan 13. [CAB, 697]
