General Notes: Husband - James Blackstone
He lived on a farm near Connellsville, Pennsylvania, for over forty years.
He grew up under the care of his mother, and spent his youth in the village of Connellsville, Pennsylvania, except two years thereof passed at college in New Athens, Ohio. After returning from college, he spent some time as clerk in the store of Davidson & Blackstone (the latter of whom was his brother, Henry), at Connellsville, and some time as clerk at Breakneck Furnace, then owned by Mr. William Davidson; but farming was always more to his taste than merchandising.
He married and lived in Connellsville until 1836, in the spring of which year he bought of Col. William L. Miller Roscommon Farm, moved to it June 23d, and there lived for many years. He and his wife had nine children-four sons and five daughters-living in 1882.
He was an old-line Whig, and later a Republican, but never was an active politician, never holding a public office and never desiring one.
