General Notes: Husband - Robert Tweed


He succeeded in rearing his large family, and gave each a fair practical education. He was a man of domestic tastes, devoting little attention to political affairs. In religion he and his wife were members of the Upper
Buffalo Presbyterian Church, and endeavored to bring up their children in accordance with its teachings.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Work


She was a woman of much more than ordinary intelligence and business sagacity, and managed the farm successfully many years after the death of her husband. At the same time she found time to inform herself upon all subjects of general interest, and especially the history and doctrines of the Church. She was recognized as one of the best informed Bible scholars in the Church of which she was a member.
