General Notes: Husband - Judge Calvin Blythe

---

He was a judge of the Mifflin and Dauphin Counties' Circuit, Pennsylvania, and afterward was collector of the port of Philadelphia.
He was a graduate of Dickinson College, and commenced the study of the law. While pursuing his studies, in 1813, he marched as a private soldier in Capt. John McMillan's company, of which his brother Samuel was a lieutenant, to the north-western frontier. He was in the battles of Chippewa, Lundy's Lane, and Buffalo, and also at the storming of Fort Erie. He stood by the side of the gallant Adjutant Poe, who fell at Chippewa, and was appointed his successor. After the close of the war he returned home, completed his law studies, and was admitted to the Adams County bar January 15, 1817. He had an office for a short period in Gettysburg, but soon after located at Mifflintown, where he entered upon a successful professional career.
He was elected to the Assembly and afterwards to the Senate, where he served with distinction. Governor Shultz appointed him, November 28, 1827, Secretary of the Commonwealth. He was commissioned president judge of the district comprising the counties of Dauphin, Lebanon, and Schuylkill, February 1, 1830, serving until July 1, 1839. Twice honored by the appointment of collector of the port of Philadelphia, upon the expiration of his term of office under President Tyler, he resumed the practice of law at the Philadelphia bar, to which he devoted the remainder of his life.
