General Notes: Husband - Joshua Budd

---

With his two brothers, Conklin and Joseph, he came from Somerset County, New Jersey, before the Revolutionary war and settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Conklin only remained a short time, and went elsewhere to seek his fortune, but he and Joseph became owners of large areas of land at the ferry owned by them and named in their honor, and also in the "Forks."

He became a major, kept store, tavern, and dealt largely in all kinds of stock and in lands. He laid out Mount Vernon on the plateau west of the ferry, and intended to make of it a great town. Although he sold several lots, and a few houses were erected, the town really existed only on paper.
