General Notes: Husband - Marcus Wortz

---

He lived on his father's farm until after his marriage, and being the only son at home, was, during the War of 1812, exempt from military duty on account of his father's advanced age. He was a farmer, but for several years kept a boarding house in McSherrystown, which he afterward sold and bought a farm from his sister, Mrs. Stouffer, a widow, where he lived until a few years before his death, when, being afflicted with blindness, he sold the farm and bought a house in Hanover, York County, where he lived until his death.
