General Notes: Husband - Samuel Adams

---

He served on Lake Erie during the War of 1812.

He settled on the family homestead in Irwin Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, at the time of his marriage, about 1824. The land was so wild that he had even to clear a spot large enough for his house. Originally he owned 150 acres, his tract reaching as far as Mechanicsville, but he disposed of his holding until only one hun-dred acres were left, which he willed to his sons Samuel M. and William. He and his wife had a total of nine children, the two sons mentioned and seven daughters; none of the daughters married.
