General Notes: Husband - Marcus Hulings
In 1775 he was a member of the Committee of Safety, White Deer Township, Northumberland County, and a soldier in the Revolution. He served as a private in Captain William Johnson's Company, 10th Battalion, Lancaster County Militia, and as ensign in the 3rd Battalion, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania Militia.
He lived [in Franklin, Pennsylvania] just at the foot of Twelfth Street. His house might have been seen as late as 1855, fronting the creek. He owned a fine farm near Fort Pitt, which he sold in 1794 or 1795. His family was in Franklin in August, 1797, the year that Colonel McDowell brought his family to the log house prepared for them. Mr. Hulings may have followed the common example of those settling in new parts then, and preceded his family here, one or even two years. In 1800 he was living in his house near the creek and plying his keel boat between Franklin and Pittsburgh, taking down consignments of peltries and other products of the forests and bringing back goods for the traders. The activities of his family in directing and assisting the transport of supplies for Perry's fleet in hot August days, from Pittsburgh to Erie, were an important part of the American defensive efforts in the War of 1812.
He possibly never returned with his father from Fort Pitt. He erected a large stone tavern and established a ferry on the south side of the Monongahela river, opposite the foot of Liberty street, Pittsburgh. It was afterwards, says Mr. Isaac Craig, for half a century known as Jones' ferry house, and as frequently noted in the journals of travelers about the commencement of the present century. He seems to have been quite prominent on the western frontiers and is frequently made mention of. Gen. Richard Butler, one of the commissioners appointed to hold treaties with the Northern and Western Indians, in his journal of October 1, 1785, says: "I fortunately recommended the employment of one Mr. Huling, who I find to be a very useful, active and ingenious man, he goes ahead with a small canoe to search out the channel, which we find to be very crooked." This was no doubt Marcus Hulings. In the journal of Gen. Joseph Buell, the arrival at Fort Harmar of "Uhling, a trader on the river," is mentioned three times, November 5 and December 3, 1786, and on the 4th of January, 1787. For more than ten years subsequent to 1790, Marcus Hulings was employed by Major Isaac Craig, quartermaster at Pittsburgh, in transporting military stores up the Allegheny to Fort Franklin and to Presqu' Isle, and down the Ohio and Mississippi to the military posts on those streams. Major Craig's letter-books and papers contain ample evidence that Marcus Hulings was a faithful and reliable man in all his undertakings. We have no knowledge as to his subsequent career, although we are informed that he died in Tennessee. He left descendants. [CBEJV, 1193] [CBEDC, 120]
