General Notes: Husband - James Smiley

---

He was a miller by trade. He was born near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He removed to the foot of Conneaut lake [Crawford County, PA?] where for several years he was employed as miller at the only mill then in existence in that section. After a few years in this place he settled permanently in Erie County, Pennsyl­vania, near where the town of Union City would later be located. [GPHAV, 729]

He was a farmer of the state of Maine, where he married. He was a soldier of the revolution, and also served in the war of 1812. After the war he came to Pennsylvania, settling at Union City, Erie county, where he built and operated the first mill in the town. He also owned and cultivated a farm. In 1833 he was elected justice of the peace. He was a Democrat and a man of influence. [GPHAV, 192]
