General Notes: Husband - George McComb


They lived in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, until 1815, when they moved to near Glade Run, Armstrong County, where he followed farming until 1823, when he built a tannery on his farm, having learned the tanning business in his youth. He conducted it for some years and it was operated later by his sons. He served as a soldier in the War of 1812. For many years he was a justice of the peace and an elder in the Glade Run Presbyterian Church.

He and his wife lived on his father's farm, which was situated about one and one-half miles from Lewisville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, until 1815, when they moved to near Glade Run, Armstrong County, and settled on a farm on which they resided during the remainder of their respective lives. He farmed until about 1823, when he constructed a tannery on his farm and was employed at tanning for many years afterward. He had learned this trade before his marriage. The business of this tannery was carried on by the sons of Mr. McComb for several years after his retirement. He was a soldier of the War of 1812 and was a very useful man in the locality in which he lived. He was an elder in Glade Run Presbyterian Church. He could have been a prominent public man had he so desired, but he declined office. The people once petitioned the Governor to have him appointed Justice of the Peace. At the urgent solicitation of his friends he accepted the office, but held it only for a short time when he resigned. He took an interest in the Glade Run cemetery, and soon became the one of whom all sought any desired information concerning that cemetery, though he never had any formal appointment as manager, he was never too busy to go with anyone and give any information desired. He was a lover of music and his children were all musicians, though he himself was no musician.

General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Marshall


She was born in the southern part of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and was brought to what is now the southern part of Indiana County immediately after the death of her mother, she was then but a mere babe.
