General Notes: Husband - Jacob Doolittle

---

He received his education in a log schoolhouse, and at the age of fifteen years learned the trade of bricklaying, serving an apprenticeship of three years, after which he removed to Birmingham, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he followed his occupation for eight years, mostly in the line of contracting, etc. In the summer of 1845 he came to what is now Mansfield, in Chartiers borough, Allegheny County, and being on the line of P., C. & St. L. R. R., upon his arrival, he purchased sixty-seven acres of the Cubbage property, which was originally a portion of the tract of Col. John Campbell, of Kentucky, who in 1764 laid out the ground around Fort Duquesne, the embryo of the present city of Pittsburgh. After the original purchase, Mr. Doolittle continued buying and selling property, and owned the land where Chartiers borough proper was later located.
