General Notes: Husband - John Shumaker


He was born in Switzerland. He came to the United States and settled in Virginia, but soon removed to Franklin township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in farming.

A native of Germany, he came to America some time before the Revolution with six brothers. They settled first in Loudoun County, Virginia, whence John Shumaker came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, about 1770. He purchased and cleared a large tract of land in Franklin township, making a permanent home on that place, where he died. He was a soldier in the War of the Revolution, in the American army, and also served during the Indian troubles in western Pennsylvania. His death was caused by injuries he had received during his army service.


Notes: Marriage

They had two sons and three daughters.
