General Notes: Husband - Peter Bennehoof

---

He was a hammerman on a forge for about five years. He came to Venango County, PA, in 1830, and purchased a piece of land in Cherrytree township. He lived in the village of Cherrytree about fourteen years. Had a family of seven children. He was a member of the United Brethren church for about 25 years; built and paid for a church himself, (except $146), and employed a minister yearly, and paid him out of his own pocket. [HVC 1879, 567]

About 1830 his father came to Venango County, PA, and pur­chased what was known as the Mason farm, on Oil creek. Peter, his son, there­after came into possession of this farm, which produced oil in fair quantities.
