General Notes: Husband - Alexander Dumars

---

He immigrated to America in 1793, where he married and brought his family to a tract of land east of Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, in what became Hempfield Township, in the spring of 1800. After coming here he taught school in the winter and the balance of the year engaged in farm labor. About the year 1810 Gov. Snyder appointed him a justice of the peace, which office he held until the adoption of the constitution of 1838. In the War of 1812 he went to Erie, but being near-sighted he was not accepted. He was one of the organizers of the Seceder Church of Greenville, and a member of the Masonic fraternity. He was a man of strong convictions, of firm opinions and good judgment; hospitable and kind to friends, he never tried to conceal his animosity from his enemies. His defective sight was a great drawback to him all his life, yet by his habits of economy and sound judgment he acquired a nice fortune. At the time of his death he owned about 500 acres of land and money securities, amounting in all to at least $40,000. [HMC 1888, 1148]
