General Notes: Husband - Jonathan Hartshorn
He worked on his land during the summer seasons and during the winters was largely engaged in lumbering and was considered a very expert. raftsman, frequently taking huge rafts down the river. With his brother William he bought a saw-mill and they also conducted the tannery established by their father and continued until the death of Jonathan, after which the saw-mill was sold and the timber on this tract was also disposed of for $47,000. All the timber was delivered and removed. Coal also was found on the land and it took a large amount of work before the stripping of the layer of coal was completed. At the time of his death, he owned 500 acres of land.
In his early years of manhood, he was a Whig, but later became a Republican. He never accepted any public office although he was always interested in current events and public affairs. He was, however, persuaded to become the mail carrier in 1817, between Bellefonte and Kittanning, Pennsylvania. At that time it took six days to make the round trip, these journeys being two weeks apart.
An old Indian trail went right through his farm and many Indians journeyed over it east and west. Mr. Hartshorn treated them well and he never had anything to complain of in the way they met him and his family, friendly relations always existing.
