General Notes: Husband - James Ridgeway

---

He came to this country when the territory on which he took up land was in Hopewell township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. A warrant was taken out Aug. 28, 1789. The tract he purchased was named "Forest."
Mr. Ridgeway in 1792 was assessed in Canton township on two hundred and twenty acres of land, and in 1807 in Mount Pleasant township on one hundred and seventy acres. The place on which he lived in 1796. was then in Cross Creek township, now Mount Pleasant.

General Notes: Wife - Mary Leman

---

In the will of John Leman, dated June 28, 1794, Mary Ridgeway is mentioned, and on the 15th of September, 1796, James and Mary Ridgeway signed a release with the other heirs of John Leman to Mary, the wife of John Leman, and Aug. 19, 1796, James Ridgeway and Mary, his wife, conveyed to Joseph Irons thirty-seven acres of land adjoining the land of the heirs of Thomas Patterson. From the above facts it is evident that Mary Leman was the widow not only of Stewart, but of Thomas Patterson also, and as Thomas Patterson died soon after, it is quite possible she was his wife for a short time.
