General Notes: Wife - Jane Curry

---

Six months after the death of her husband, she gave birth to a posthumous son, to whom she gave the father's name, Robert. Not long afterward she accompanied her parents-in-law, when they moved out of Crawford County, PA, to Cincinnati, Ohio. A cousin of the widow, a lad perhaps a dozen years old, named James Felton, the son of John and Ellen (Kerr) Felton, accompanied her. After a year or two, the widow, leaving her parents-in-law in Cincinnati, started back for Oil Creek. She rode on horseback, young Felton traveling by her side on foot, and the little boy, Rob­ert, sitting before her on the horse, and playing with the reins of the bridle. In this manner, with young Felton and the infant, Robert, about two years old, as her sole companions, she rode all the way from Cincinnati, a distance of four hundred miles, back to her kindred in Oil Creek Township. Her way was mostly through forests, in which Indians, many of them hostile, roamed. There were few bridges, so that she had to ford most of the streams.
