General Notes: Husband - William Zahniser
In early life he was given sufficient educational advantages to enable him to teach school and for some years he alternated teaching in the winter seasons with farm work during the summers. He served as an American soldier in the War of 1812, with the rank of lieutenant, and he was located during this time at Erie, Pennsylvania. A very valuable memento of this time was owned by his descendants, it being a walking stick composed of wood taken from Commodore Perry's famous ship "The Lawrence."
Until 1823 he and his wife lived on the old homestead in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and then moved to a near-by tract on which he resided until death.
He died in 1850. [TCHWWC, 598]
