General Notes: Husband - William Peirsol

---

He came from Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Fayette County in 1784.

He was the first of this family to settle in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and bought of Thomas Estel, in 1784, a farm; later this farm was owned in part by James and Lewis Peirsol. For a time he lived in a rudely built cabin, which in time gave way to a log house, which at that time was considered a model of elegance and comfort. In this he resided till his death at a ripe old age.

He and his wife had eight children. Jeremiah was the third.
