General Notes: Husband - Abraham Enlow

---

He was among the first of the settlers in what is now East Finley township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. There is little doubt that he was there as early as 1775. He settled on Wheeling Creek, where he built a block-house for the protection of himself and family from the Indians. His first land purchase was of a tract containing four hundred acres, called "Big Flat," situated on the waters of Big Wheeling Creek, which was granted to him Feb. 21, 1788, and surveyed March 30th following. On March 26, 1788, "Sugar Stick Run," a tract of three hundred and ninety-one acres, was warranted to him, and surveyed April 26th of the same year. Again, in 1790, he received a warrant for one hundred acres of land, which was not surveyed until June 9, 1799.

He came to East Finley township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, at an early day, and patented 3,000 acres of land in the wilderness, to which he finally moved with his family, and there passed his remaining years.
When he and his wife died their land was divided among the children, each of whom settled on their respective farms, and made improvements. In politics he was a Democrat, and in religion an enthusiastic member of the M. E. Church.
