General Notes: Husband - Philip Surrena, Sr.


He came to Venango County, PA, from Westmoreland County about 1798 with his sister, while one brother, Samuel, remained in Westmoreland County. It is not known where they were born, but they were of German parentage.
He settled on the farm in what is now Clinton Township, and resided there until the close of his long life, when he was ninety-four years old. He owned 228 acres, and had placed about one hundred acres of that area under cultivation during his active years. In the course of a prosperous life he also acquired other lands, being able to give a farm to each of his six sons. At an early day he built a sawmill on his home place, with an old-fashioned upright saw, and it was in operation until about 1875, his son John operating it after his father gave up active duties. He also owned a flour mill in Irwin Township, which stood at the site later occupied by the Gilmore mill, and his son Philip carried this on for years.
He married Elizabeth Baker after his arrival in Venango County and they were among the original members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Clintonville. He served in the army during the war of 1812. [CAB, 840]
