General Notes: Wife - Abigail Parshall


The first, or at least among the first families, that came to settle in Scrubgrass, Venango County, Pennsylvania, was that of Mrs. Abigail Coulter, a pious woman from Washington County. She came out in 1797. The first sermon ever heard in that neighborhood was delivered by Rev. William Moorhead, a son-in-law of Rev. Dr. McMillan, in the year 1800, at Mrs. Coulter's house, that was about forty rods from the site where the Scrubgrass church was built.
