General Notes: Husband - Nathan Smith

---

He was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, and obtained his education in the city of Dublin. He sailed for America from Movill Bay in 1793, was thirteen weeks on the water, had yellow fever; the ship, commanded by Captain Powell, was quarantined. He was sent to the hospital at Philadelphia, recovered, and came to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he taught school. He came to Fayette County, near Connellsville, where there was a forge owned by a Quaker; he clerked at Alliance furnace on Jacob's Creek.
In 1809 he purchased a farm, later owned by Henry E. Smith's heirs, and remained on it until 1822, when he exchanged it to his son, Henry E., for a farm later owned by Samuel McCurdy's heir, in East Huntingdon township, Westmoreland County, on which he remained during the latter part of his life.
