General Notes: Husband - William Forrester

---

He was born in Scotland, and came to Butler County, PA, from Pittsburgh. He settled near Portersville at a date some years prior to 1800. In 1808, he bought land of Andrew McGowen, and settled on the farm where his grandchildren would later live.

An old Indian camping ground must have been located upon the Forrester farm; or, possibly, an Indian village. Spear heads and arrow heads have been found there in large quantities.
