General Notes: Husband - Hon. John Dunbar Creigh


He received an academical, collegiate, and legal education at Carlisle, Pennsylvania; studied law with Andrew Carothers, and was admitted to the bar in 1819. Shortly after he located at Landisburg, Perry County, Pennsylvania. He continued in the law several years, but subsequently entered the iron business, and for a long time managed Stewart's and Dunbar's furnaces in Fayette County, and Caroline Furnace in Perry County. However, he returned to the bar and practiced in St. Louis and Pittsburgh, eventually locating in San Francisco. He filled the office of judge of the different courts in that city, but at the end of his term declined a re-election, preferring to return to his profession, in which he continued until his death.
