General Notes: Husband - William Hitchings

---

He and his wife were married in England, and sailed for the New World, their destination being Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, where Mr. Hitchings worked as an iron filler until 1831, when he moved to Hanna Furnace, Centre County. Two years later, however, he came to Bradford township, Clearfield County, where he purchased 100 acres of timber land near Shiloh church, and there made his home, though he continued to work in the iron furnaces. His wife would often walk to Hanna Furnace and back in a day, and in the same way would go through the forests to Grahamton to market.
