General Notes: Husband - John Falls


He was a farmer by occupation, a whig in politics, and in religious views, a Presbyterian.


General Notes: Wife - Margaret Dickson


From Franklin County, Pennsylvania, she came to what is now Lawrence County, in 1814.

Two sources give significantly different dates for her birth. Given the dates of birth of her husband and children, the later date for her birth seems more reasonable.
