General Notes: Husband - Job Staples

---

He was born and reared in the city of New York and came to Pennsylvania in early manhood. For a few years he taught school in different lo­calities and gradually worked his way westward until he reached Butler County, where he bought a farm of 200 acres which was then in Cranberry but is now situated in Forward Township. He resided on that farm for a number of years, doing a large part of the clearing, but later moved to Adams Township and in 1853 settled on the farm which was later owned by his son John.

He located first in what was Cranberry Township, and remained there several years teaching school. Later, he removed one mile west, to what is now Adams Township, on a farm of 200 acres, which he bought from an eccentric character, “Tom Means,” by name, giving him as part payment a shot-gun and a yoke of oxen. Means owned a great deal of land during these times, and it is said that when he became comfortably filled with whisky, a fit of generosity would seize him, and he would offer his neighbors some extraordinary bargains.

He and his wife had a family of sixteen children, two of whom died in early life and five in later years.
