General Notes: Husband - William Moorhead
He emigrated from the north of Ireland to America in 1798, settling in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
In 1806 he purchased a farm on the Susquehanna, twenty miles above Harrisburg, long known as Moorhead's Ferry, where his son, James K., was born. Mr. Moorhead was not only an enthusiastic and successful farmer, but also a cultivated and refined gentleman. He was active in politics, and was appointed by President Madison a collector of internal revenue. In 1815 he removed to Harrisburg, where he died two years later, leaving his widow and six children nearly penniless. They removed to the old farm at Moorhead's Ferry.
