General Notes: Husband - John Nesbit

---

The family name is one of the oldest in Venango County, Pennsylvania, dating back to the period before the Revolutionary War, when Thomas Nesbit, of Ulster, Ireland, settled in south-ern Cumberland, later Franklin, County.

He and his wife removed to Venango County, Pennsylvania, from Ohio in 1842, settling in French Creek Township and living on a farm until Mr. Nesbit's retirement, after which they resided in Utica. They were members of the Presbyterian Church.
