General Notes: Husband - Edward Hale

---

He came to Venango County, PA, from Fayette County, bring­ing his family with him on horseback, in 1798, and was a trader with the Indians, and dealt in merchandise with the citizens. He was a man of much enterprise, and bid fair to be one of the most prosperous citizens of the town. He owned a large amount of property that in after years proved to be valuable. In 1801 he leased a portion of the present park for agri­cultural purposes. He was one of the first merchants of Franklin. Mr. Hale died young, when he had just begun to develop his enterprise and capacity for business. [HVC 1890, 347]
