General Notes: Husband - Andrew Howden

---

He and his wife came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, in about 1789, when the Indians were very numerous. For two years their home was in a hollow tree fitted up as a room, where two of their children were born. He was a prominent pioneer settler of Washington County, and followed farming all his life. He owned several thousand acres of land, which eventually became the property of the West family, and also owned the island below Pittsburgh, known as the Seven Miles Island, which was long in the possession of the family.
