General Notes: Husband - James McAnlis

---

He was a farmer by occupation, and followed that vocation after coming to America. He had been educated for the ministry, and was soon to be a clergyman, when his father's death upset his plans and transferred onto his shoulders the burden of supporting the family. He brought his family to America in 1821, and made a home for them in what is now Big Beaver township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. On this farm of his in Big Beaver township, which he subsequently from time to time enlarged to a large and very valuable property, he lived until taken home to those gone before. His wife, who was also a native of the beautiful Emerald Isle, bore him nine children. They were Covenanters in regard to their religious belief and attachments. The family, although coming from Ireland, were of pure Scotch ancestry, their home having been in the north of Ireland.

He came to America in 1822 with his wife, Susan, and seven children, and immediately made his way to Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, coming from Pittsburgh on horseback. He purchased 500 acres of land, a heavily timbered tract, in what is now Big Beaver Township, on which he soon erected a log house. This he later replaced with a stone house, a part of which later served the purpose of a kitchen in the home of John G. McAnlis. He cleared a portion of his farm and engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death, at the age of seventy-seven years. He left to each of his sons 100 acres of land, and to each daughter 25 acres.
