General Notes: Husband - Maj. Nathaniel Nesbitt

---

He was born on the present site of Clear Spring, Washington County, Maryland, and came to Indiana County, Pennsylvania, with his parents in 1816. The farm on which the family lived was near what later became Bow station, in Conemaugh township, and there he worked with his parents until of age, after which he engaged in farming and stock raising on his own account. His farm comprised 268 acres, the place where he settled with his parents and later owned by his heirs, and he was particularly successful as a stock raiser, winning many prizes at the county fairs for his horses and cattle. In association with another man he owned the "Tribune," a canal boat (which was sunk by his partner), meantime also continuing his agricultural operations. He was jury commissioner of Indiana County, took a deep interest in the success of the Prohibition party, which he supported, and was a prominent member of the Presbyterian Church at Livermore, and Tunnelton, serving many years as elder. In politics he was a Democrat, in social connection an Odd Fellow, belonging to Blairsville lodge. Major Nesbitt died at his home in Conemaugh township. He held a commission in the Pennsylvania militia.

He was a second lieutenant, captain and major in the Pennsylvania militia for several years.
