General Notes: Husband - Capt. Joseph Mifflin

---

He settled at Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1833 and always claimed that city his home. For many years he resided on a farm one mile from the borough limits, to which the name of ''Burlington Farm" had been given, in remembrance of his birthplace. In early years he learned the tanning business and also worked in iron, but the mathematical inclination of his mind induced him to prepare for the work of a civil engineer. In this he was eminently successful, and for a long period was employed on the Pennsylvania, the Huntingdon and Broad Top and the Columbia and Octarora railroads, his last work being on the Harrisburg and Potomac road. He then retired to Shippensburg, where the remainder of his life was passed in the enjoyment of literary pursuits. He was a man of superior talent, a fine scholar, familiar with the classics, a great student of Shakespeare. and kept well posted on current literature and the passing events of public life. In 1844 he was principal of an academy at Shippensburg and demanded a high degree of excellence in his pupils. One of the first county superintendents of schools, he did much to raise the quality of teachers. In his youth he was identified with the Abolition party. From the time he united with the Presbyterian Church he was an upright, consistent member of that religious body.

He and his wife had nine sons and five daughters.
