General Notes: Husband - Thomas Stevenson

---

He came with his parents to Washington County, Pennsylvania, when a boy, and there received his education in the schools of the period, where the "Single Rule of Three" was the test of mathematical knowledge. He hauled loads of produce to Pittsburgh, returning with merchandise for country merchants.

He and his second wife passed all of their married life on a part of the "Old Ravenscraft Tract," in Cherry Valley, Smith township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was a careful manager and excellent financier, year by year adding to his possessions until he owned 750 acres of choice land. He was a kind-hearted, generous man, ever ready to assist those who proved worthy of aid; in business he was a careful manager. At one time he owned a flour-mill in Midway, Pennsylvania, but passed most of his time in agriculture. In politics he was first a Whig, then a Republican, and was much interested in the selection of suitable candidates. He was a charter member of the Mt. Vernon Seceder Church, and was one of the leading organizers of the Centre U. P. Church, serving as an elder and contributing liberally to its support.
