General Notes: Husband - James Vincent

---

Marion Twp, Butler Co, PA

He was born in Marion township, Butler county, PA, and is said to have been the first child born in that part of the county. He resided on part of the old homestead all his life. In early days he served as captain of a militia company, and took an active interest in public affairs. He was a stanch Republican, and was a leading member of the United Presbyterian church.

James Vincent and his son Robert purchased 200 acres, including a mill site on Wolf Creek, and erected a grist-mill about 1832. A saw-mill farther up the stream had been built two years before. After the death of James Vincent, his son William became the owner of the mill, and after it had been run by the Vincents for about thirty years, it was sold to William F. Rumberger. [HBC 1883, 392]
