General Notes: Husband - John Mead


He moved with others of the Mead family to Crawford County, Pennsylvania. Later [in 1806] he moved to Brokenstraw township, Warren County; he and his brother William being among the pioneer settlers of that town­ship. He was a farmer all his life, but also en­gaged in lumbering.
He was a soldier in the War of 1812.

While he was yet a mere child his father, John Mead, Sr., removed to the valley of French Creek at Meadville, PA. In the spring of 1807 John, Jr., came to the valley of the Brokenstraw, in company with his brother William, to labor in the mills of his uncles, Joseph and Darius. He married and built his house on a piece of land which his father-in-law gave him. In 1814 he and John Garner bought the Mathew Young tract of 400 acres, for $2,500-the tract containing nearly all the land now within the limits of the borough of Youngsville. He rebuilt the Mead mills several times. He died on the 4th of November, 1870. Before his death his son Darius operated the mills for some time, and finally sold the saw-mill.
