General Notes: Husband - William H. Howard

---

He was a mechanical genius and introduced a number of notable improvements in machinery for the manufacture of woolen goods in which he became interested at an early date in his native county. He invented one of the earliest wire-drawing machines, later developed in other hands into a perfected machine. The process of making continuous lead pipe also originated with him, as did the perfected machinery for braiding Tuscan straw. He removed to Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and from 1837 to 1842, in partnership with Samuel Blake, conducted a satinet mill at Rockdale, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

He and his wife had ten children, several of whom died young.
