General Notes: Husband - John L. Rankin
He was born in Mt. Pleasant township, Washington County, PA, on the farm where the earliest pioneer of the family had settled many years before. He grew to manhood on the ancestral acres, assisting in agricultural duties, and receiving a necessarily limited country-school education. After his marriage he located on a farm about three miles northwest of Hickory, Washington County, where he resided sixteen years, extensively engaged in sheep raising. In 1866 he moved to Smith township, purchasing a farm one mile south of Burgettstown. Some time later his home was completely destroyed by fire, but, with characteristic pluck and energy, he at once erected a building far superior to the one which had burned. In politics he was a Democrat, and served his party in various capacities in both townships where he resided. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church of Burgettstown, in which he was an elder.
