General Notes: Husband - Samuel Findley, Sr.

---

He was a native of Ireland, and immigrated to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, with his brother William, prior to the Revolution. He was one of the pioneers of Clay township, Butler County, where he settled in 1798. He built his cabin in the middle of an unbroken forest and spent the remaining years of his life in making a home for himself and family. He had three sons and three daughters who came with him to Butler County, and afterward became well-known settlers. He was commissioned by Governor McKean one of the associate judges of Butler County, July 4, 1803, and served on the bench until his death. He was one of the prominent and influential citizens of the county during pioneer days.

He emigrated to the United States from Scotland and settled in eastern Pennsylvania, later removing to Clay Township, Butler County, where he was a farmer. [HBC 1927, 805]
