General Notes: Husband - Peter Klingensmith
He grew up in Westmoreland County, PA, and in the fall of 1796 accompanied his father, and the Loutzenhisers, Kecks and Christys to the Shenango Valley on a prospecting tour. It is claimed by his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Lininger, that he built a cabin on the tract he selected (in the southeast corner of West Salem Township), and remained in the valley with a few others through the winter of 1796-97, hunting and trapping, while the balance of the party returned to Westmoreland County. He served in the War of 1812, and bore a very strong antipathy to the Indian race. About 1827 he sold his homestead and removed into Pymatuning Township, where both he and wife spent their declining years. They are interred in one of the old pioneer cemeteries of that locality.
He drowned in Big Run.
