General Notes: Husband - Robert Cresswell

---

He and his brother Matthew bought and made their homes on the tract on Warrior's Ridge, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, later known as the Schuck farm. After a residence there of some years, where most, if not all, his children were born, he pushed with his family into the wilderness of Clearfield County, and settled on the bank of the Susquehanna river above Anderson's Creek, at a spot designated by the watermen as the "Pewees' Nest," where he later died.
