General Notes: Husband - Richard Reynolds


He was only three years old when his father died. He lived with his mother on the farm until the spring of 1800, when she moved to Kittanning, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. He was about ten years old when his mother married Alexander Moore, and he then left his mother and went to his brother David, who sent him to school and gave him a liberal education. He taught school in Kittanning about two years. There he fell in with Sheriff McConnell, who had lately purchased a large tract due north of Kittanning, about thirty miles distant, in the Licking settlement (now known as Sligo, Clarion county). The sheriff set him up there with a small store, more to hold possession of the land than to sell goods. There he married and resided for five years before moving to Kittanning, entering into partnership with Sheriff McConnell in a large store, where he did business for six years. Selling his interest in the store he then bought a farm near Sligo, moved on it in the spring of 1826, and lived there until the fall of 1837, when he sold that place and moved to the Allegheny river, at the mouth of Red Bank creek, where he had bought a large tract of land. He opened up quite a large farm and lived at that place until the winter of 1850, when he was taken ill and died, at the age of fifty-eight years. His wife lived some twelve years longer, dying in Kittanning.
