General Notes: Husband - John Thomas

---

He came with his parents and six siblings to Jack­son Run, Warren County, Pennsylvania, when he was eight years old. His first pursuit was lumbering. He served a term as treasurer of Warren county (1868-70) and was for a few years proprietor of the “Tanner House,” a popular hotel, from 1865 to 1870. He removed from Warren to Falconer, New York, and then to Jamestown, where he followed farming on a large scale until his advanced age made it necessary to retire. In 1861 he enlisted in the Twelfth Pennsylvania Cavalry and served four years and four months, being first sergeant of Company K. He was a Republican.
