General Notes: Husband - Dr. Jeremiah Senseny


He studied medicine under the instruction of his father, and began the practice of it in the year 1809. He pursued his professional business with much ardor and enthusiasm until the beginning of the war with England, in 1812, when he promptly enlisted as a private in the company of Capt. Henry Reges, in the autumn of that year. At Meadville, when the brigade was formed, he was appointed assistant to Dr. S. D. Culbertson, the surgeon-in-chief, but was soon compelled to resign the office in consequence of failing health. In 1814 he again volunteered in his country's defense, and went with Capt. John Findlay to Baltimore, as one of the officers of the company commanded by that gentleman. At the close of the war he resumed his practice in Chambersburg, which, for many years, was very large and lucrative.

He commenced practice in 1809, and continued until his death in 1863, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. He enjoyed a fine reputation and did a larger business than any of his cotemporaries.

He was a volunteer in the War of 1812, and was made surgeon-in-chief at Meadville, Pennsylvania, but was obliged to resign on account of ill health. He returned home, but in 1814 re-enlisted and went to Baltimore in the company of Capt. Findlay.
