General Notes: Husband - James Hanby

---

He was born in the Highlands of Scotland and lived there until a young man. He landed in Philadelphia where he lived for a time, then came over the mountains settling at Mount Hope, Venango County, Pennsylvania, during the oil excitement of 1865-70. He purchased a farm of about three hundred acres which he cultivated until 1874, then moved to Beaver County, and he died in West Virginia, near East Liverpool, Ohio. He was a man of con­siderable property, and before his death divid­ed the Venango County farm between his two sons, giving the other children lands in Beaver County. He lived to be nearly ninety years of age.
