General Notes: Husband - David Mead

---

He was the first white child born in Brokenstraw township, Warren County, Pennsylvania. He received his early education in Conewango township, and, considering the meager facilities for securing an education, and other hindering influences which confronted the youth in those pioneer days, he made great progress and was considered a fair scholar. Almost the entire county at that time was nothing but a trackless wilderness. David Mead followed the joint occupation of farming and lumbering. He built a large and substantial residence in Conewango township, where he brought his bride.
Politically, he was a lifelong Democrat. In his views on the slavery question he was plain and outspoken, advocating the purchase of the slaves as the correct policy to be pursued by the Federal government.

He died in 1862. [GGSOPF, 392] [BOB37JD, 459] The same sources list only one wife, Tuttle.
