General Notes: Husband - John Smith


He was a native of England, coming to this America and settling in New Jersey, whence he subsequently removed to Pennsylvania, in the year 1797. He made the journey on horseback, returning afterward to New Jersey, where he married and brought his wife back with him in the same manner, to Pennsylvania. He took up a tract of two hundred acres of government land which he cultivated assiduously, and also received a gift of two hundred additional acres. He became very successful in his farming and a leader in the community. He was a member of the Methodist church, and died at Dicksonburg, Pennsylvania. He had eight children, all of whom were born in Summit township, and buried at Harmonsburg, Pennsylvania, and all of whom, with but one exception, became farmers or farmers' wives. [GPHWP, 152]
