General Notes: Husband - John Carothers
He was a convert under the preaching of Rev. Dr. Power, whose daughter he afterwards married. He was a man distinguished for his kindness and charity, and his house was the home of the Christian minister; his hospitality was shared alike by the poor and the rich. In 1808 he moved from a farm near Port Royal, and settled on a farm which was thereafter the homestead of the family, situated near Millgrove, on the Greensburg road. It consisted of one hundred and eighty-one and a quarter acres, and was a portion of a tract deeded by patent to John Barr and James Wilson, described in the original patent as a certain tract of land called "Bachelors Hall." At the time of his settlement on the place only a log house had been erected and a small clearing made in the forest. He was by trade a coppersmith, and while he cleared and worked his farm by day, he worked at his trade at night. He had remarkable health and vigor until within a few months of his death.
