General Notes: Husband - George F. Dinsmoor
He was in the fourth generation in direct descent from John Dinsmoor, the founder of the family in America, who came from Londonderry, Ireland, in 1719, and settled at Windham, New Hampshire. John Dinsmoor, although coming from Ireland, was a Scotchman, his parents having been born and raised in Scotland. To the family of his descendants belong the Governors Samuel Dinsmoor, the elder and younger, whose pure and vigorous administrations were long remembered in the Granite State. The elder Governor Dinsmoor was in Congress in 1811-12, and as his name was first on the roll, he is the first member recorded as voting for the series of measures which led up to the War of 1812. To this family also belong Robert Dinsmoor, the "Rustic Bard," a New England poet, who achieved something more than a merely local celebrity in the early part of the 1800s, and some of whose songs, in the Scotch dialect, deserve to live along with those of Scotland's famous poets; and also Colonel Silas Dinsmoor, the famous Indian agent and teacher of the arts of civilization to the Cherokee and Choctaw nations, and William B. Dinsmore, who was president of the Adams Express Company. [HWC 1887, 650]
He was born at Keene, New Hampshire, and for many years resided in Genesee County, New York. He migrated from New York to Elk township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, in 1835 or 1836, and remained there until his death.
