General Notes: Husband - John P. Manes
He passed his youth on the home farm in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and received a common-school education. In 1849 he went to St. Joseph, Missouri, and purchased mules for a Pittsburgh company, continuing in that business about six months, and then, joining a party of gold seekers, went to California, where he remained seven years, engaged in mining and other occupations. He then returned to Pennsylvania, and married. Soon after his marriage, he settled on the farm in North Strabane township, Washington County, and engaged in farming and stock raising. He took an active interest in church matters, and was a member of the Presbyterian Society, in which he served as trustee. He voted independently of any party, but favored the Democratic platform.
