He came to America in 1785. In 1813 the family moved from their home in Penn's Valley, Center County, Pennsylvania, to the western part of the state, settling on the land in Irwin Township, Venango County, still [1919] owned and occupied by the descendants. Here the father, who was a tanner by trade, followed farming the rest of his life. [CAB, 1034]
