General Notes: Husband - David Eckert

---

He learned the saddlery business with his brother Peter in Womelsdorf, Berks County, Pennsylvania. While working as a journeyman with Mr. Wolff in Chambersburg, his attention was drawn to the number of saddles, bridles and harness that were being sent to Washington, Pennsylvania, and thought it might be a good place to do business in, so, in the summer of 1804 he went to Washington, was pleased with the place and decided to settle there. He returned to Chambersburg, was married, and then went to Washington and started into the saddlery and harness business and made that place his home for the rest of his life. They made the trip from Chambersburg to Washington, over the Alleghany Mountains, on horseback. By his industry and thrift and close attention to business he succeeded well in his affairs and was quite prosperous. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
