General Notes: Husband - Jacob Wolford


He attended the pioneer subscription schools, and worked on the farm assisting his parents in the home duties. At the age of twenty-two he settled in Clay township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and in 1848 he purchased 100 acres of land in Cherry township, where he then resided, to which he later added fifty acres, and also owned an adjoining farm of sixty-two acres. He had one of the best improved farms in Cherry township, but in later years he practically retired from active labor.
He was a Republican, and filled the office of school director and other official positions in his township. He was one of the original members of the United Presbyterian church of West Sunbury, in which society he was a trustee for twenty years or more. He was a liberal contributor towards the erection of three church buildings in West Sunbury.
