General Notes: Husband - Robert Stockton


He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church at Rocky Spring, near Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and served in the Revolutionary war with a company formed from that church, with their pastor, the Rev. John Craighead. After the war, in 1784, he emigrated to Washington, Pennsylvania, and in July purchased 340 acres of land of Peter Jolly, named in the survey "Beaver Dam." It is situated in Franklin township, three and one-half miles west of Washington, and still occupied by his descendants. He was one of the four elders of the Presbyterian Church when organized, and the first delegate to the Presbyterian at old Redstone.

He served in the Revolutionary war, taking part in the battles of Trenton and Monmouth. He moved to Washington County, Pennsylvania, in 1782, and in the following July purchased a farm of Peter Jolly, which was named in the survey "Beaver Dam." It was situated three and a half miles west of Washington borough, in Franklin township.
