General Notes: Husband - William Birch

---

He was born at Belfast, Ireland, accompanied his parents to America thirteen years later and completed his school attendance in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He learned to weave and in his early business life was associated with a Mr. Campbell in the manufacture of cloth. In 1818 he moved with his family to Amwell Township, Washington County, settling on a farm but removing two years later to a farm in Canton Township, four years later to Buffalo Township, and in 1835 to Holmes County, Ohio. After the death of his wife, in 1844, he moved to Fulton County, Illinois, but returned to Ohio and resided at Birmingham until his decease. In politics he was an Old-line Whig and in religion he was a stanch Presbyterian.
