General Notes: Husband - John Nesbit

---

He came from Cecil County, Maryland, to Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was accompanied by three brothers, one of whom soon after returned to Maryland, while the others located upon a tract of land which lay on the boundaries of Chartiers and Canton townships.
John settled on 119 acres of land, and children were born to these pioneers, but in the winter of 1837 a deadly fever raged in the neighborhood. Before spring the father and three of the children-John, Margaret and Jane-had died. Of the once happy family now remained a widowed wife and bereaved mother, who clung closely to her one remaining son, Robert.
