General Notes: Husband - William Dewoody


He came to Venango County, PA, in 1796, with his three brothers. He owned a tract of land extending from the Pittsburgh road beyond the "twin churches," later divided into several farms. It was surveyed Dec. 15, 1799. His house was located at a spring on the farm later owned by William E. Smith and his heirs in turn. [CAB, 1001]
He served in the War of 1812.

His date of birth is judged from the statement that he died in 1820 at the age of 66. [HVC 1879, 498] This seems suspect.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Lyon

from Victory Twp, Venango Co, PA
