General Notes: Husband - James Banks

---

He lived with his parents on the farm until 1815, when he married. He then removed to the farm which his father had purchased in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he continued to reside until the time of his death, which occurred at a very advanced age. His family consisted of five children\emdash two sons and three daughters.
He was a large, muscular man, of fine figure. He was well-informed and very entertaining in conversation. He was an active member of the Presbyterian Church, and for many years a ruling elder, and also a member of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. The circumstances of his death were somewhat remarkable. Being at church\emdash for he was always accustomed to attend when it was possible\emdash the minister asked him to lead in prayer, which he did with his accustomed earnestness, without any apparent faltering of the voice. At the close of the prayer he sank down, and in a few minutes breathed his last.
