General Notes: Husband - John Ringland

---

He came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, before 1796, and settled adjoining the Fryes. Of whom he made his first purchase or how much land he bought is not known. On the 23d of October, 1802, he purchased forty acres of Patrick McCardel on Maple Creek, adjoining lands of Henry Speer and his own other lands. On this purchase he built a mill and made his homestead, which was known as the Ringland mill farm, located on the south branch of Maple Creek. The farm (located in the present township of Allen) was later in the possession of Samuel and John Frye, grandsons of John Ringland, and sons of his daughter (and his only child who lived to maturity) Isabella, who married Abraham Frye. John Ringland later purchased a large amount of land in Fallowfield, and became the largest land-owner in the township. His property was inherited by his daughter Isabella.
