General Notes: Husband - Samuel Shurlock


He early displayed unusual mental ability, and after he had creditably passed through the best educational institutions then in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, his father sent him to England, where he attended college for ten years, in the meanwhile studying medicine under his brother, Robert. However, Samuel Shurlock did not desire a professional life, and after his return to his home he bought a keel boat and went into the business of carrying the flour from his father's mill to Philadelphia. When his father died Samuel Shurlock moved to Beaver County, where he later died. He was considered the best educated man in that section of the state in his youth. During the winters, for many years, he taught school and occupied his summers in lettering headstones at the old Bennett quarry.

He took part in the War of 1812.


General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Stinson
