General Notes: Wife - Margaret Ekin

---

She would later recall that when the removal was made from the junction of the Monongahela and Youghiogheny Rivers to the Connoquenessing settlement, one horse carried herself, her mother and an infant. The mother, besides guiding the animal, held the baby in her arms, while she, then but six years of age, sat behind, and by clinging to her mother's skirts, kept her seat as best she could. The roads on the route to Fort Pitt were about as bad as they could be, but from the latter place to their objective point, Indian trails only were found and followed, and quite frequently the horses had to swim with their burdens at the crossing of streams.

By her first marriage she became the mother of her only child, a daughter, who died when five years of age. Yet, at various times she assumed the care of and reared eleven orphan children, besides keeping others for months at a time.
