General Notes: Husband - Rev. Samuel Woodbridge

---

He was a clergyman of the Seventh-Day Baptist persuasion, and crossed the mountains to western Pennsylvania on horseback in 1778 or 1779.
He settled in Springhill township, Fayette County, and founded a village which bore his name, built a church in which he preached every seventh day, and erected a dwelling-house, which in its day and locality was considered stylish and commodious. He preached without money and without price there until his lips were sealed in death. His remains rest in the old graveyard adjoining the church, and by his last will and testament he left some of these village lots for the perpetual maintenance of the church and graveyard in good order, which benevolent intention was sadly neglected.
