General Notes: Husband - William Dilworth, Sr.

---

He was born in Dilworthtown, Chester County, Pennsylvania, and in 1795, when aged four years, came with his father and mother and two sisters over the mountains, their conveyance being a team of oxen; they also had with them a bull calf and a salt-pan. His father was offered all of East Liberty Valley for the bull-calf and salt-pan, but as the soil was moist he did not like it, and settled Dilworthville, Allegheny County, west of Pittsburgh\emdash which later became Bellevue, Pennsylvania. In 1795 his father built a log house which was partly standing as late as 1907, located on Miller street, Bellevue. At that time Pittsburgh was but a small hamlet with two stores.
In 1812 William Dilworth, Sr., was interested for the defense of the country against the British and Indians, and marched to Sandusky under the command of General Harrison, with the "Pittsburg Blues." For three score years he was a prominent factor in the business and religious circles of Pittsburgh. He mingled with two generations of men active in the pioneer operations of his times. He was a devout Christian and noted for his charity. He became a master builder, and was awarded the contract to construct numerous bridges in Allegheny County, including the one over the Monongahela river, the firm being Colhart & Dilworth. In 1834 they built the court house in Pittsburgh. He was president of the board of managers of the House of Refuge up to the January before his death. In 1834 he was a member of the state legislature, and was ever an active citizen. He had seldom if ever seen an ill day until his death, supposedly, from heart failure. He and his good wife had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary a few years prior to his death. He made many friends, and was accustomed to come to the city from his homestead during the latter years of his life, almost daily, and was ever greeted by old and young, both of whom in him found a close friend. He would call on his sons and other prominent business men, and was never happier than when recounting some of his early-day experiences in and near Pittsburg. He never sought public office, neither did he shrink from holding such positions as were needful, but which there was no salary attached to.
After marriage, he went to housekeeping at Mount Washington, where they ever afterward resided. He found need of more school room privileges on Mount Washington and built a school building on his own land, which provided for his own and many other children, he bearing the total expense for teacher and all connected with carrying on the school.
