General Notes: Husband - William Aiken, Jr.

After attaining his majority he removed from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to St. Clairsville, Belmont County, Ohio. In 1801, he returned to Pennsylvania and took up a residence in Wayne township, Lawrence County, and immediately after his settlement there he became interested in the milling industry, and built a carding mill, saw-mill and grist-mill, and was quite busily engaged at this work in connection with some farming until his death at the advanced age of eighty-three years.
In religious matters he was a Presbyterian, having been elder many years. Politically, he was an adherent of the old Whig party.
