General Notes: Husband - Asa Crossman

---

About 1800 the family started west in a wagon, and at first stopped for a few years in south-western New York. About 1806, they came to the vicinity of what is now Georgeville, Pennsylvania, where he made a clearing, planted an orchard, &c, His next change was to what is now the John Drummond tract, then to the present Isaac Carmault farm, near Punxsutawney, and finally to an eight hundred acre tract, near the Cherry-tree. He sold the lower part to a Mr. Newman, and removed to the upper, where he died, about fifty-six years of age.

He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and on leaving that state first located in southwestern New York, whence he later removed to Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and there purchased the John Drummond tract of land. Later he sold and bought what was later known as the Isaac Carmalt farm, near Punxsutawney, in Jefferson County. His next purchase consisted of 1,200 acres near Cherry Tree, of which he sold 400 acres to a Mr. Newman, but from the remainder developed a good farm, on which he made his home until his death. His wife died on the same place at the age of fifty-three years, leaving six children, four sons and two daughters.
