General Notes: Husband - James Witherspoon
He and his wife were both descended from old Scotch-Irish stock and were firm believers in the Presbyterian faith, the tenets of which were religiously observed by them through life.
He was a farmer on the farm that had belonged to his father-in-law, John Little; it adjoined that of his father. In 1866 he purchased the old "Irwinton Mills" property, to which he removed. This was the place where Elizabeth Irwin, the mother of President Benjamin Harrison, was born. He was a member of the Mercersburg Presbyterian Church.
General Notes: Wife - Mary Little
She was born in County Armagh, Ireland, and came with her parents to America when eighteen years old.
