General Notes: Husband - William Banks

---

He studied law in the office of his brother, Hon. John Banks, at Mercer, Pennsylvania. He commenced the practice of law in Indiana in 1826, and for many years was a leading member of the bar. He was naturally sensitive and diffident, and only commenced to argue cases before the jury when circumstances compelled him. He became a forcible advocate, concise, to the point and sometimes eloquent. He was fond of scientific studies, and was very conversant with the Scriptures. He filled the offices of deputy attorney-general and prothonotary, and was a member of the legislature. After serving in the legislature he totally abjured holding public office.
