General Notes: Husband - Sharron Mateer Quigley
He was educated in the common schools of the home locality, attending under John P. Davis, whose fame as a speller and spelling teacher was widespread in that day. In 1847 he came to the place in Boggs township, Armstrong County, overlooking the Allegheny river, which he thereafter occupied. The property consisted of fifty-eight acres, on which there was a one-story frame house 24 by 16 feet in dimensions, in which he kept bachelor's hall. While attending to his duties as superintendent of the Brown and Mosgrove furnaces he saw to the clearing of his land, which he subsequently cultivated throughout his active years. However, he did not devote all his time to his farming interests. He had large coal and iron interests which proved very profitable, and he gave considerable attention to public affairs. Originally a Whig, he eventually became a member of the Democratic party, with which he has since been identified. He was honored with many important positions, serving as auditor of Armstrong County for six years from 1852, was justice of the peace for five years, and auditor of his home township. He was also active in his earlier days in the establishing of churches and schools and placing their affairs on a sound basis, and was a prominent worker in the Presbyterian Church, which he served as elder.
