General Notes: Husband - Caleb Woodward


He moved from Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Fayette County, at an early day, and set up a blacksmith's shop in Menallen township, on James Sidwell's farm. He was a noted mechanic, and was esteemed especially skillful in the manufacture of plows, chains, etc. The plows of his day were made of wood and plated with strips of iron. People came to him from afar off, nine miles and more, to have him make for them chains and plows. He did also a brisk business in plating saddles. He settled eventually on a farm later occupied by Joseph Woodward, and died in New Salem.
