General Notes: Husband - George Work

---

He was born and reared in County Londonderry, Ireland. He followed the occupation of a weaver. A few years after the birth of his first two children, he determined to seek a home in the New World, and on July 24, 1789, he and his family boarded the brig "Keziah," at Londonderry, Ireland. After a stormy voyage of eight weeks they landed at Wilmington, Delaware, and in 1795 pushed farther westward in search of a cheap home. The long, tedious journey was made by wagon, the family eventually arriving in Hopewell township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. They located first on the Sam Davis farm, but soon afterward moved to the log cabin near Buffalo, and on May 24, 1802, they purchased the farm which became known as the Work farm, where he became a successful farmer.

He came to Hopewell township in 1802, and bought of Mr. Tweed 100 acres of land adjoining Buffalo village.
