General Notes: Husband - Abraham Goss
He cleared the farm near Osceola, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, which long bore his name, also the John Goss farm two miles from Osceola, and another near Blue Ball, known as the Joseph Goss farm.
He and his wife were natives of Germany, located Decatur township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, at a very early day, when Indians were numerous, and nearly all the land was still in its primitive condition. He opened up a farm in the midst of the forest, near Osceola Mills, where his wife died. He was twice married in Clearfield, his second wife died upon the second farm which he developed; he passed away on a farm near that of his grandson, Joseph G. Goss.
He aided the Colonies during the Revolutionary war, and at one time rode Gen. Washington's horse.
He and his wife were natives of Germany, whence early in life they emigrated to the United States, becoming pioneer settlers of Decatur township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, locating there when the country was all wild and unimproved. Upon the farm where they first took up their residence the wife died, and in Clearfield he later wedded a Mrs. Shively. Their deaths occurred upon another farm which the husband had later developed. He was a Revolutionary hero.
