General Notes: Husband - Isaac T. Biddle


In 1840 he came to Greene County, Pennsylvania, and bought a farm in Cumberland Township, and one year later his father came to the same farm. I. T. took charge of the farm and continued his father's business of farming and stock-growing, devoting his time principally to the raising of fine sheep. He succeeded in accumulating a handsome fortune, but in later years met with serious reverses by the failure of three banks in which he lost about $440,000. This proved a serious disarrangement in his financial affairs, but he was a good business man and died in fair circumstances after reaching a good old age.
He and his wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which he served as elder for many years. They had a family of eleven children, seven were living in 1888.
