General Notes: Husband - Thomas Henderson




He was born in Tyrone, Ireland, and came to America with his parents in 1827. The family located in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, and he was apprenticed to the blacksmith's trade under John Hegarty. When he had mastered the business he built a shop on his father's farm, and there carried on operations. For three years after his marriage, he followed blacksmithing on his father's farm, and then purchased one hundred acres of timber land adjoining that place. Having erected a log house, he began the development of a farm, and in 1849 built a log barn and blacksmith shop. He followed his trade, and purchasing an extensive tract of land adjoining his first purchase, also engaged in lumbering for a number of years, making square timber, which he would raft down the river and ship to the eastern markets. While thus engaged he also embarked in merchandising, and that pursuit he followed throughout the remainder of his life. He discontinued blacksmithing some twenty years before his death.
In politics he was always a Democrat, and for eleven years served as postmaster at Jeffries. He was also township auditor and supervisor for a number of years, and held other local offices. He held membership in the Presbyterian Church.
