General Notes: Husband - Jacob Oatman


He was just a child when his father came to the United States from Holland, the Oatman and Johnston families-to which latter the wife of Joseph Oatman belonged-crossing the ocean in the same vessel. The first account we have of them is of their residing in a locality in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, known as "Long Hollow." The hollow begins at the old iron furnace near Mount Union on the east side of Jack's Mountain, and extends to McVeytown, formerly known as Waynesburg, and long ago simply as Wayne. The grandchildren of Jacob Oatman could remember hearing their parents tell of their childhood days spent in the "Long Hollow."
