General Notes: Husband - Charles Ridgeway

---

He came from Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, to Titusville, Crawford County, June 20, 1799, at the age of twenty years, in 1779. After looking about the primitive country, and building a mill for the Holland Land Company at East Titusville, he returned to Brownsville, and brought with him, the second time he came, Samuel Griggs, and selected the spot later known as Newtontown, as a site for a mill. Griggs was also a millwright. He bought two hundred acres of land at Newtontown and built the mill. After living there three years he sold the property to Major Alden, and moved to Franklin. There he bought ten lots and built a house and barn. He later sold the Franklin property, bought several hundred acres of land at Hydetown and came to live on it. He was a miller, as well as a millwright. He built at an early date, a mill above Hydetown, on Little Oil Creek, and oper­ated largely in lumber, as well as clearing land and cultivating a farm.
