General Notes: Husband - Simeon Guilford
Early in life he became interested in the subject of engineering, and labored for several years in the capacity of a civil engineer on the Erie Canal in the state of New York. In 1823 he took up his residence in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, serving as assistant engineer with Canvas White in the building of the Union Canal. In 1827 he was appointed principal engineer in the service of the State of Pennsylvania by the Board of Canal Commissioners. In 1830-31, in connection with a partner, he built Swatara Furnace, in Schuylkill County, and commenced the making of iron by the charcoal process, for twenty-two years engaging in successful business. In 1855 he established a furnace of a similar kind at Lebanon, and in 1856 built the Dudley Furnace at that place for the use of anthracite coal. The latter became known as the Donaghmore Furnace, and was later operated by the Coleman estate. In 1843, Mr. Guilford was the candidate of the Whig party for the office of canal commissioner, but with the State ticket was defeated.
