General Notes: Husband - Edward Denniston

---

He was educated in the public schools of Washington County, PA. He learned the trade of a mill-wright, and followed that occupation for years in connection with farming. In 1855 he located on a farm in Mercer County, PA, where he thereafter resided.

About 1834 he was a member of a military company called the “Mercer Cavalry,” and held the commission of major. He held the offices of school director, supervisor and auditor of the township, and justice of the peace for five years. He was an elder in the Reformed Church of Amsterdam, Liberty Township.

He was born in 1815. [CBRCP, 1601]

In the county of his na­tivity, he was reared to man­hood and married. During early life he was variously employed, con­ducting the first saw and grist mill run by water power in his locality, and he was also interested in an iron furnace and in mercantile pursuits un­til the outbreak of the Civil war. He then turned his attention to farming, and resided on the old family homestead at the age of eighty-two, honored and respected by all who knew him.
