General Notes: Husband - Lt. Henry Pontius

---

He was a Revolutionary soldier, and in that war attained the rank of lieutenant. Soon after the French war he came to Buffalo Valley, Union County, Pennsylvania, but did not locate permanently there until 1770, when he took up 600 acres of land on Cedar run, and built a house that stood for over a century, though it was greatly re-modeled. He was a noted Indian fighter, and was one of the principal actors in the frequent dramas brought about by the contiguity of the natives and the early settlers.
