General Notes: Husband - Samuel Creswell


He was born in Brooke County, Virginia, and attended the common schools of that section. He afterward became a millwright, in which business he was successful, having built his first sawmill when but fourteen years of age. This mill was still in operation sixty years later, and was known as the "Ryland's Mill." Among the many witnesses to the skill and ingenuity of Mr. Creswell are the old Wilson Mill, near West Middletown; the McBain Mill in Columbiana County, Ohio, and the old mill later known as the "Kidd Mill," which Mr. Creswell built and operated for a number of years. He afterward came to a farm where he then resided. He had 186 acres of fine land, and a comfortable home. In religion he was always a consistent member of the Methodist Protestant Church. He was a stanch Democrat, and one of the counselors of his party.
