General Notes: Husband - John Dunlop

---

He was the first one of the family to locate in Centre County, Pennsylvania, and purchased among other lands the Griffith Gibbon tract, upon which the town of Bellefonte is situated, which he afterward conveyed to his father, Col. James Dunlop, and his brother-in-law, James Harris, who laid out and became the proprietors of the town. He was the most extensive land owner in the county; among other lands, owning those adjoining the town of Bellefonte, for a distance of six or seven miles east and west, and forty thousand acres of timber land (which became Snow Shoe and Burnside townships), comprising the valuable bituminous coal field of that region. In the order of essentials first required by the settlers of the region, being remote from supplies, he contracted for the digging of a head and tail race, and the erection of a grist or flouring mill and a sawmill, which afterward became the property of his brother-in-law, James Smith, now (1897) Hale estate, and devoted his time to the development of the iron ores and erection of furnaces, the product of which were hauled west to Pittsburgh with teams, or east by arks on the spring floods in Bald Eagle creek. He first built, in connection with Col. Samuel Miles, Harmony Forge on Spring creek (now (1897) Milesburg Iron Works, of McCoy & Shugert). He then built Logan Furnace, on Logan branch, south of the town, now the Valentine Iron Co., in the meantime having built the stone house, corner of the Diamond, known as the Judge Burnside property (now "Crider's Stone Building"), in which he for a time resided, and then moved to the large stone house he had built at Logan Furnace. He owned the furnace run by Boggs and Rover (both his relatives), and in 1810, in connection with William Beatty (whom he had brought with him from Franklin County), built Washington Furnace, east of Bellefonte, now in Clinton County. He was the most energetic iron-master in the county. On the morning of Saturday, October 8, 1814, he returned home from a business trip to Pittsburgh, stopping at his home only long enough to get a fresh horse, determined to visit one of his mine banks before dinner, and immediately upon entering the bank noticed the danger of the earth falling, and succeeded in getting all the miners out safely, but was himself buried beneath the fall and killed. His death was severely felt and lamented. He was fine looking, of commanding appearance, being over six feet in height, amiable in disposition and temper, and his moral and religious character irreproachable. [CBRCP, CCJC, 189]
