General Notes: Husband - James Wherry

---

He was born in Ireland and was four years old when his parents brought him to America, and he was reared in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. In 1830, with his brother, John Wherry, he came to Armstrong County, and they settled in South Bend township, where they bought 460 acres of land which they later divided, James taking 300 acres for his share. On this land he labored until it became a finely cultivated tract, and part of it was later owned by his son John N. Wherry. On this farm James Wherry died about 1870, when aged seventy years.
He was a farmer, and he had additional business interests, being a stone worker and contractor for many years. During this time he had contracts for public works all over the country, including Harper's Ferry.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church.
