General Notes: Husband - Hon. John Pericles Vincent

---

He received his education in Waterford Academy, and chose the profession of law. He came to Erie city in 1839, and having been regularly admitted to the bar in 1841, commenced practicing in that year in Erie. From 1849 to 1854, Judge Vincent was associated in partnership with James C. Marshall. He was a Republican in politics beginning at the organization of that party, previous to which he was a Whig. He was elected to the Legislature from Erie County in 1862-63, and in the latter year was the Republican candidate for Speaker of the House. He then resumed his profession, and continued it till December, 1866, when he took his seat as Additional Law Judge of the Sixth District of Pennsylvania, then composed of Crawford, Warren and Erie counties. This seat the Judge occupied till the adoption of the Constitution in 1874, which made Erie County a separate district, and he then served Erie County as President Judge until 1877. After that year he continued in law practice without intermission.
