General Notes: Husband - Col. Thomas Ringland

---

He came to America with his father and family in 1795, and settled in Morris township, Washington County, PA, where he continued to reside until 1857, when he moved to Grandview, Edgar County, IL. During the war of 1812 he volunteered his services as a private soldier, and was afterward promoted to major for gallant conduct, and re­ceived an honorable discharge. In 1825 he was nominated and elected to a seat in the House of Representatives, and again in 1826 and 1827; and in 1828 he was elected to the Senate from the District then composed of the counties of Washington and Greene, and was re-elected and served with the entire approbation of the people until 1834. As an evidence of the high appreciation of his worth and integrity, his brother senators elected him to the honorable and responsible position of Speaker of that body, the duties of which he discharged with a courtesy and impartiality unsurpassed. In politics he was all his life an earnest, unswerving Democrat. He sustained the pure patriot, gallant soldier and eminent statesman, Gen. Jackson, throughout his eventful administra­tion. During the struggle of that great and good man with the Bank of the United States, while others faltered and many yielded to the seductive influences of that corporation, Col. Ringland stood firm. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church for some years before his death.
