General Notes: Husband - Robert Liggett
He was born in Independence township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and remained on the home farm until some years after attaining his majority. His education was restricted to the advantages found in the pioneer log schoolhouse and he walked a long distance through the woods to glean knowledge from those schools for a few weeks during the winter season.
He began wedded life with $500 and an old horse as capital stock. He lived on his father's farm for a short time, then came to the place where the remainder of his life was passed, which was situated one mile east of Independence, in Independence township. Upon this farm he erected one of the finest residences in the township, there following agricultural pursuits, and by industry combined with economical business dealings, eventually became the owner of a vast estate. He never took part in any speculations, but devoted his entire time to energetic toil and careful management of his property, achieving success by slow but steady upward steps. Mr. Liggett was quiet and unassuming in public, with a reserved and dignified manner. His integrity was unimpeachable; firm and unswerving in opinions, he never lowered his standard of right to any man. Although his literary advantages were necessarily limited, yet he succeeded, by dint of close application and keen observation, in securing a thorough practical knowledge of current topics and business matters.
In politics Robert Liggett was a Democrat.
