General Notes: Husband - Alexander Thomson


He came to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1800, and settled permanently in 1804, first living in Hopewell township, and moving a few years later to Independence township, where he later died. He was a sickle maker, and followed that trade until modern inventions and methods rendered it unprofitable. He was a major of militia, and his popularity was repeatedly attested by his election to various official positions, including that of county commissioner. He was the only man in Beaver County, who voted for Adams in 1824.
