General Notes: Husband - William Espy

---

He settled in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, in 1801. [HLC 1877, 66]

He had made arrangements to build a mill, and Francis Nesbit, his father-in-law, who had also been out in 1801, brought out the mill-gearing with him in 1802, and they built the mill.
He was a surveyor by profession. They located on Donation tract, number 1786, supposed to contain four hundred acres, but a survey showed that it contained over five hundred. Mr. Nesbit sold his interest in the mill to Espy, and took all but one hundred acres of the land.
