General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Lincoln

---

He was a farmer of Dauphin, Fayette and Greene counties, Pennsylvania.

Prior to 1791 he had gone to Fayette County, Pennsylvania.

Some time previous to 1791, he left his home in Perry township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and emigrated to the west side of the mountains, and lived for a time on the Rankin farm in Union township, Fayette County. While there his father visited him, and was so well pleased with the country and its prospects that on June 29, 1791, he purchased of Isaac Pearce the tract of land called "Discord," containing three hundred and twenty acres. A few years later Benjamin purchased a farm on Whitely Creek, in Greene County. Afterwards he became the owner of the farm later occupied by John Hankins, and lived there until his death.
