General Notes: Husband - William Amberson

---

He was of English descent. His ancestors were the first settlers of Amberson's Valley, Franklin County, Pennsylvania.
He enlisted from Franklin County in the Revolutionary war, was a commissioned officer and served as ensign on Gen. Washington's staff. At the close of the war he resided in Pittsburgh, for a time, but subsequently removed to Mercer County.

He came to Mercer, Pennsylvania, from Pittsburgh, where he had lived prior to the Revolution, and where he had been engaged in conducting a small furnace and distillery. He arrived in Mercer about 1803, and located at once on the corner of East Market and Pitt Streets. He was a colonel in the Revolutionary War, and served several years. While a resident of Mercer he drew a pension until the time of his death. He was associate judge of Mercer County for a number of years.
