General Notes: Husband - James Morrison


He inherited that portion of the homestead on which his father had lived and died. After the formation of Washing­ton County, PA, he was commissioned as captain of a company of the Washington Rangers, who were organized for defense against the intrusions of savage foes. He was a member of the first board of trustees of the Chartiers (Presby­terian) Church, over which Dr. John McMillan so long served as pastor. He resided on the home­stead until his death, and was buried in the graveyard on his own farm beside the remains of his father. When his wife died, at the age of sixty-five years, her re­mains were deposited beside those of her husband, in their quiet resting place. Some years later their remains were removed, and were interred in the cemetery at Washington.
