General Notes: Husband - George W. Fell
In the fall of 1796 he and his father came to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and selected a piece of land in what is now the southern part of West Salem Township. In the spring of 1797 they came back to the land, built a log cabin, and commenced a settlement in the dense forest. His father returned to Westmoreland County early in July, leaving his son, then a boy thirteen years old, to continue the settlement, and he remained seven weeks longer before joining his father in Westmoreland County. The family moved to Mercer County in the spring of 1798. [HMC 1888, 1176]
He was appointed justice of the peace in 1822, and served in that office for eighteen years, consecutively. He followed farming all his life. Both he and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and politically he was a Democrat and belonged to the Masonic fraternity.
