General Notes: Husband - Maj. Samuel A. Torbett


This may refer to this man:
Samuel Torbett was a nail maker, who came to Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and opened a shop on Centre Street about 1796-97. He followed that business for some years, residing, in 1805, on the site where later stood Kennedy Davis' House; but finally engaged in tavern keeping, which he followed until his death. Torbett's tavern stood on the southwest corner of Water and Chestnut Streets. Mr. Torbett was Sheriff of the county from 1815 to 1818. [HCC 1885, 375]
