General Notes: Husband - James Large

---

When he was two years old, his parents moved to Jefferson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and located on Ferree's purchase. Here James remained.
Previous to the Civil War he was identified with the state militia, having served as major on the staff of Brig.-Gen. James S. Negley, and was also a member of a company of artillery for a period of nine years. In 1862 he visited Venango County, then the center of the oil interest, and enlisted in Co. G, 11th P. V.; was wounded in battle of second Bull Run; was sent to hospital, received a sixty-days furlough, which was extended for sixty days more, then returned to the hospital, and received his discharge in 1863.
He and his wife were members of Jefferson U. P. Church. He held various positions in his township; was democratic, and later a prohibitionist. He had an elegant home, and surrounded himself with the luxuries that wealth can procure.
