General Notes: Husband - Major C. Dorchester

---

His father died when he was very young; his mother then kept house in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, until she remarried. He lived with his grandfather until 1828, in which year he purchased sixty-two acres of land partially cleared. He moved to Crawford County in April, 1853, and settled on a farm in Conneaut Township. In politics he was a Republican with strong temperance proclivities. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church for over fifty years.
