General Notes: Husband - John Middleton
He was born Jan. 4, 1806. [PFG, 6]
He was one of the first settlers of the locality in which he lived, an earnest worker in the Methodist church, and did much for the advancement of society.
He removed to Scrubgrass township in 1836, where he purchased one hundred acres of land, which he subsequently increased to three hundred. In early life he was engaged in the lumber business, and, in connection with Isaac Ball, built a saw mill on Tionesta creek, in what later became Forest county, and named it Balltown. He was one of the enterprising men of his day, took an active interest in public affairs, and built the Methodist Episcopal church located at Big Bend, Scrubgrass township. He was an ardent Democrat, and died while attending a funeral in St. Michael's Catholic church, at Emlenton. [HVC 1890, 976]
