General Notes: Husband - Samuel Moorhead
He was born in Derry township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, married, and came in 1812 to Indiana County, where he spent practically all the rest of his life engaged in farming. However, he was a man of active disposition and intelligence, and had other interests. He built the dam below Blairsville on the old Pennsylvania canal. He was appointed associate judge of the courts of Indiana County in 1830, by Governor Wolf, and served very creditably for a period of six years. In politics he was a Democrat, in religion a Presbyterian.
