General Notes: Husband - James Sterrett

---

He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
He engaged in farming in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, until 1807, when he sold his farm of four hundred acres there, and moved to Erie County in June of that year. They came across the mountains with two four-horse wagons and one two-horse wagon for grandma and the children to ride in. They cut their way through the forests and camped out at night.

The village of Sterrettania in Erie County was named after the wife of James, "Sterrett Anna."
