General Notes: Husband - Joseph Huston

---

He came to Union township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in 1790, and in the same year was elected sheriff of the county. He had previously lived with his father in Tyrone, and afterwards with Col. James Paull in Kentucky, and for many years he led a roving life. On Oct. 5, 1791, the year after his election to the sheriffalty, he bought ninety-four and one-quarter acres of land on Redstone Creek, in what is now North Union, it being a part of the tract of land which had been patented to Samuel McCarty, under the name of "Union Grove." On Feb. 20, 1792, he purchased of Henry Beeson lot 39, in Uniontown, that where Mrs. Dr. David Porter later lived. Subsequently he bought the lot and built the brick house which adjoined the residence of E. Bailey Dawson upon the west, and which he afterwards sold to Jonathan Rowland. For several years Joseph Huston pursued a mercantile business. Becoming interested in the manufacture of iron, he, in December, 1795, purchased of Dennis Springer a share in fifty-one acres of land in North Union, adjoining that of John Patrick and Ephraim Douglass, which was patented to Jacob Knapp in May, 1788, and a part of it sold to Dennis Springer in the same year. On this land Huston Springer built the "Huston Old Forge." In 1803, he bought of Jeremiah Pears the Redstone Furnace, in what later became the township of South Union, and continued the business at these places until near the time of his death.
