General Notes: Husband - John Strawbridge

---

He was born in the eastern part of Pennsyl­vania, near the Susquehanna river, in 1770. He immigrated to Venango County in 1798, and settled and kept bachelor’s hall for some
time. He served at Erie during the War of 1812. He and his wife reared a family of ten children, six sons and four daughters.

He was from the upper Susquehanna valley, probably the vicinity of Williamsport. He formed his first acquaintance with western Pennsylvania as assistant to a surveyor and was thus employed in the neighborhood of Meadville when that city consisted of but two houses. In 1797 he purchased four hundred acres of land in Crawford county, and having sold this to James and Daniel McCombs, he secured two hundred and thirty-seven acres in Cherry Tree on the road leading from Cherry Tree village to Breedtown.
