General Notes: Husband - John Arthurs

---

In 1795 he came to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, where he helped to erect its first mill. In 1806 he returned to the county, but soon aft-erward went to what is now Armstrong County. He then purchased the Ferguson farm near Clarion, where he con-tinued to live until about 1812, when he removed to Port Barnet and engaged in lumbering. In 1813 he went to Tidioute, Warren County, Pennsylvania, and in the winter of 1814 was pressed into the United States service and sent to Lake Erie; but in the spring of 1815 the treaty of Ghent was concluded, and he was allowed to return home, the war being ended.
