General Notes: Husband - Col. Anthony Rogers Banning
He was educated in the common schools near Banning's Mills, Ohio, and under private tutors. He learned farming, milling, and merchandising, and at about the age of twenty-five years left Ohio and came to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, settling at New Haven and followed farming as his principal vocation, but was much engaged in the railroad business and in various other pursuits. In the buying, combining, and sale of Connellsville coking coal lands, Col. Banning was one of the largest operators. In all his pursuits he was signally successful. Comprehensive in understanding, cautious and careful, his course was a steady and sure one. Col. Banning was noted for his probity and business honesty, and was frequently intrusted by his acquaintances with large sums of money for investment, no security being asked. In fact, during his whole extensive operations for others he was never even once asked to give other security than that embraced in his "word."
His possessions were chiefly in coal lands and town property. Among several farms owned by him was one upon which Banning Station, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, named after him, was built.
