General Notes: Husband - John Elwood
He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, three miles from Oakland Cross Roads. He learned the trade of cabinetmaker and also became a contractor and builder. Coming from Mifflin County to Warren (later known as Apollo), Armstrong County, about 1830-31, he followed his trade, erecting many houses at Apollo and elsewhere in the southern section of the county. He also kept a stable at Apollo for canal horses and was employed on the canal. He owned several boats. He was an active citizen, and held various township offices. He was first a Whig in political opinion, but early took sides with the Abolition party, supporting the first Abolition ticket ever voted for in Apollo. He was one of the three men at Apollo who voted for Kimber Cleaver, the Free-soil candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. He was one of the early Methodists in his section of the county, and his wife also belonged to that church.
He spent the last of his life in retirement at Apollo.
