General Notes: Husband - William Work
Of Scotch-Irish descent, he grew to manhood in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. It is not known whether or not he took part in the Revolutionary war.
He married and they crossed the Allegheny mountains in 1801 and made a location in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, near what became New Florence, spending three years there. Thence they moved to Indiana County in 1804, settling in what is now the western part of East Mahoning township, where Mr. Work was a pioneer farmer. He was also one of the first teachers there, when the schools were run on the subscription plan. There he passed the remainder of his days, finally dying of cancer. Mr. Work was one of the founders of Gilgal Church, from which he withdrew, however, in 1818, on account of doctrinal differences, joining the organization of the Associate Church at Mahoning.
