General Notes: Husband - William Witherup
He was born on the farm in Rockland Township, Venango County, PA, where his parents lived for a number of years, and whence they removed in 1846 to a farm across the river owned by the Captain's brother William. On Dec. 23, 1846, they again made a change of residence, to the old homestead on the creek, at which place William Witherup spent the remainder of his life. He inherited half of the property upon his father's death, and not only prospered in his agricultural labors, but also enjoyed an ample competence from the oil production, being one of the well-to-do residents of the township. After his death, his widow continued to reside on the place, having a neat home situated on the banks of Bullion creek, a quarter mile above its confluence with the Allegheny River. High bluffs shut in the valley at this point, forming a pleasant, secluded location, convenient to Kennerdell Station, which is only a half mile distant on the opposite side of the river, but concealed from view by the point of the bluff.
Mr. Witherup was a Democrat in political sentiment, and took an active interest in the welfare of the party and in local public affairs, serving capably as school director and in other township offices. His religious connection was with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. [CAB, 958]
