General Notes: Husband - Robert Quay


He was raised in Venango Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. He remained with his parents until he was twenty-two years old. He then engaged in lumbering in Warren County, for several years, and in 1840 he settled in Hayfield Township, Crawford County. He mostly cleared up the
farm and put good substantial buildings thereon.
After he was married he repaired an old stillhouse which stood on the land when he bought it, he moved into it and commenced clearing the timber from his land for tilling purposes. He raised several acres of potatoes each year for many years. He utilized his timber and built flat-boats and boated the potatoes to Pittsburgh, that being his only market.
