General Notes: Husband - John Stevenson


He and his wife were married in Belfast, Ireland, and about one year later came to the United States, locating near Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, spending there and at Latrobe, in the same county, the years intervening until 1861, when he died. He was a linen weaver, learning his trade in the great Belfast mills. He continued in the same business in America and operated a large bleachery in connection with his mill, employing many men, some of them having come with him from Ireland. Two of his brothers, James and Francis, accompanied him from the Irish home, all sons of John and Isabella (Barefoot) Stevenson. His sister Ann also came with him.

Another place in the same source states there were four brothers, and William is included.
