General Notes: Husband - Truman Beaman London
He was the second child of a family of nine. By self-endeavors and in the public schools he received a very thorough education in the place of his nativity, where he grew up to manhood, and where he was engaged in the lumber trade until 1837. He manufactured lumber and marketed it at Harrisburg, Columbia, Marietta, Port Deposit, and other points on the Susquehanna River.
He emigrated from Luzerne County to Jefferson County, locating in Brookville in 1837. In 1840 he removed from Brookville, where he had been engaged in lumbering, to Perry township, and there cleared a farm purchased of C. C. Gaskill; and in 1843 he settled in Bell township in the midst of his lumber operations. Six years later he located permanently in Winslow township, on the farm later occupied by Fulton Henry.
The record of T. B. London's life is that of an active and useful man-useful to himself, his family, his community, and his county. Aside from clearing and working many farms, his lumber operations, in which he was a pioneer on Sandy Lick Creek, gave employment to hundreds of men at a time when the less venturesome and poorer classes needed just such an enterprising spirit to lead them. He opened up roads, often at his own expense, leading into remote districts, thus creating settlements and adding to the population and welfare of the county. In his later years his capital erected a score of houses in Reynoldsville and Winslow township, and was invested in a mercantile enterprise in the town mentioned for about eight years. His life was ever identified with the best interests of the local public, vigilant at all times, and always ready to do good. He served one term as auditor of the county. To the church, too, he was kind, giving generously to every creed that knocked on his heart, asking for help.
He was one of seven brothers, all of whom were born in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and settled in Jefferson County in early manhood.
He located at Soldier Run, Jefferson County, where he followed lumbering until his death.
