General Notes: Husband - Thomas Haun
He was a lover of horses from boyhood, and contrived it that, in all his occupations, horses should be his companions. As he approached manhood he became a teamster, hauling what was called a "canastoga" wagon from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, transporting merchandise one way and provisions on the return trip; it took eighty-three days to make the round trip, crossing the mountains twice. He settled in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, at Shippenville, where he spent his last years in retirement. His love for his equine friends kept up to the last, and he was never without at least one horse.
He was a Whig in politics, and held many of the minor offices of the township. During the later days of slavery, when the Abolitionists established the underground railway for the transportation of slaves to Canada, Mr. Haun kept a station, and was instrumental in helping many a black person to freedom.
Notes: Marriage
They were the parents of eight children; only three reached adulthood.
