General Notes: Husband - Samuel Eakin


Following his marriage to Margaret, he spent three years at his father's home and then settled in Scrubgrass Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, in 1831, at what became known as Eakin's Corners, where he succeeded in acquiring possession of a valuable tract of over two hundred acres, eventually divided among his sons and later the home of nine families. He was considered the most progressive man of his day in the community, which benefited as greatly by his activities as he did. Habitually hard-working, though he took an interest in many things besides the improvement of his farm and the conscientious discharge of his public duties, for he held many local offices, he always found time for useful service in all, but the welfare of his home and church were always dearest to him. He was a member of the East Unity United Presbyterian Church, and a Democrat in political doctrine. [HVC 1919, 910]
