General Notes: Husband - Henry Sanders, Jr.


He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and was a child when he was brought to the homestead in Union County, where he grew to manhood, with the training common to the time and locality. Choosing farming as an occupation, he made his first venture on a farm belonging to his father, in Hartley township, Union County. In 1826 he removed to his father's farm near Centerville and made his permanent home. He was a good manager, and, without doing as much manual labor as some, he succeeded admirably, his boys being allowed to do the greater part of the active work as they grew old enough. In local affairs he was influential, and he occasionally held office, serving at one time as supervisor of what is now Limestone township, Union County. In 1844 he was elected county commissioner, the wages then being $1.25 per day. Politically he was first a Whig and later a Republican.
