General Notes: Husband - Matthew Dill


In 1803 he learned the trade of spinning-wheel wright with Thomas McCartney, the first sheriff of Indiana County, Pennsylvania. Spinning-wheels of his make (with his stamp "M. D." upon them) were highly prized as relics in the neighborhood for many years.

He and his [second] wife settled on the land later known as the "old Dill farm" in Buffington township, which he purchased from his father in 1810. He brought the first cooking stove to that section of the county. They remained on this farm until his death.
