General Notes: Husband - Samuel Ferver
He came to Neshannock township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, from Beaver Falls in 1806. He was a millwright by trade, and erected one or both of Thomas Fisher's mills. He lived on the farm adjoining those of David Riley and Thomas Fisher until his death.
He came to Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, about the beginning of 1800s and settled in the wilderness, where he marked out his farm and built a log-cabin; the remainder of his days were spent in clearing the land, and, being a millwright by trade, in working in the Fisher Mill. His 500 acres were divided among his children after his decease.
He served in the War of 1812 as a sharpshooter at Fort Erie.
He came to Neshannock township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, in 1806, from his native State, Maryland, and settled on a farm, later occupied by his son's widow. At that time everything was a perfect wilderness, and the settlers were few and far between. He cleared a spot large enough to furnish a site for a log-house and afford a little room for a small garden patch, and lived in a homely, frontier fashion until he had largely cleared his farm, when he erected a frame dwelling to replace the one of logs. As one of the first settlers he took advantage of his intimate knowledge of the country and its needs, and gathered together a very comfortable property. He was an honest, upright man, prompt in the discharge of every obligation, and while he was exacting as to getting his own dues, he was as equally sure to pay the last penny justly due from him to others. He was a Democrat from principle, but never had time to accept office.
He and his wife were members of the Methodist Church, and attended divine services in King's Chapel, Neshannock township.
General Notes: Wife - Rebecca Carroll
