General Notes: Husband - George Sampsel

---

He was born in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania, and accompanied his parents to Ohio where he remained until he was about twenty-one years old. He then returned to Pennsylvania, making the journey on horseback. After his marriage, he located near Centerville, Snyder County, on a tract of land owned by his father-in-law, where he followed milling until 1818, when he returned to Columbiana County, Ohio. Later he came back to central Pennsylvania on account of the failing health of his father-in-law, who, at his death, left a large estate to be divided between three children. There were two sawmills and a gristmill on Penn's creek, and a gristmill west of Centerville included in this property. Mr. Sampsel continued to reside in Snyder County until his death at the age of seventy-six years.
When his brother-in-law, John Kuhns, removed to Venango County, he bought his mill property, and consolidated it with the mill that he had previously been operating. He accumulated a large fortune for that day, and at one time owned about a thousand acres of land. Politically he was first a Whig and later a Republican, and while not a politican he held various township offices. His information on general subjects was extensive, as, although his early educational opportunities were limited, he was always fond of reading.
