General Notes: Husband - Daniel Hendrickson

---

He was associated with his father in the ferry, which they established on the Shenango when they first arrived in New Castle, Pennsylvania. He seems to have had charge of it and operated it for some years. He used a "dug-out," or large canoe, for ferrying passengers and freight, and sometimes made trips down the river. He accumulated some property and undertook to enlarge his sphere of usefulness. At one time he entered into a contract to construct a dam on the Neshannock, on the site of the old Elliott-Vaneman dam, but before it was completed a sudden flood carried it all away and with it a large share of Hendrickson's hard earnings.

"He was the father of a numerous family, principally daughters, and many of the most respectable families of the community are connected with the famous squatter family of 1798."
