General Notes: Husband - William Duffield
He made his first trip to America in 1760. However, he returned to Ireland twice before settling here. He arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the last vessel to enter that port before the Revolution broke out, and hostilities had commenced before the passengers were landed. It is known that he sympathized with the Colonies and was active in their cause, and according to family tradition he was with the army as a trader, furnishing cattle and supplies to the soldiers. During the Revolutionary period he married, and after that event settled in the Nittany valley in Center County, Pennsylvania, later living in the Bald Eagle valley a little to the northeast, near the mouth of Fishing creek and adjoining the village of Mill Hall, about three miles south of Lock Haven. As it was found that the land on which he had located was the property of a brother of Sam Brady, the famous Indian fighter, he had to give it up, and thus it was that he sought a home in Venango County. He and his eldest daughter, Jane, then a girl of twenty, journeyed together to the new settlement, where he bought four hundred acres on the south side of French creek, in what is now French Creek Township, Venango County, and about a mile southeast of the present borough of Utica. Building a cabin at the mouth of Sugar creek, he left his daughter in possession, while he went back for the rest of his family, and here among the hills and forests of the undeveloped but promising region they made a new home, and by diligence and thrift took their place among its worthiest residents. According to an old family document William Duffield was a man of robust constitution and tine physique, and of exceptional energy, well adapted physically for the life he led. His genial disposition and unselfish nature, combined with good judgment and sound common sense, brought him into high personal favor with his neighbors, who often consulted him in important matters. [CAB, 758]
Notes: Marriage
They were married in 1774. [HVC 1879, 197]
They were married after a couple of years' acquaintance, begun on the vessel in which he made his final trip to America, and while she was on her way to this country in company with her brother Robert and his family.
