General Notes: Husband - George Ament
His father died when he was young, and he was bound out. He was badly treated by the family into which he went. At about the age of eighteen he joined the Continental forces, and was with General Washington during the terrible winter at Valley Forge. He served in the rangers on the frontiers in Lieut. Thomas Fletcher's Company from 1778 to 1783.
He had a brother who also was in the Patriot army, and was captured by the British, and died while a prisoner.
After the birth of two of their children, he and his wife moved to a location about two miles from the site of Salem Cross Roads, on the head waters of Turtle creek in Franklin township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he built a gristmill and a sawmill. Export, a mining town, was later built on the farm.
He served in Washington's bodyguard at Valley Forge, and was afterward captured by the Indians but secured his release.
