General Notes: Husband - Alexander Siggins


He was born on shipboard while his parents were en route to America. His father died in 1801, in Center County, Pennsylvania, in 1816 his mother with her family came to Youngsville, Warren County, where she died.
He was a blacksmith, and expert in that business; he owned a large farm extending from "York Hill" to near the center of Youngsville Borough. He built the house occupied in 1912, by Mrs. M. B. Davis: "It was the best house in the county, in fact there are few, if any today, that are better, and although now nearly one hundred years old, it is still in a good state of preservation." He joined the Methodist church while a young man and was a leader in all church matters throughout his long life in Youngsville.
His farm contained a fine tract of timber; later this was divided among his children, all except Benjamin receiving their share. Benjamin had asked that he might be allowed to use his portion of the estate in obtaining an education. His wish was granted.

Alexander Siggins and his wife joined the church in 1820. "Uncle Aleck," as he was familiarly called, organized a Sunday School of which he was Superintendent.


Notes: Marriage

They were married November 1, 1816. [GGSOPF, 231]
