General Notes: Husband - James Peebles

---

His father was a very extensive farmer, owning an entire township in Ireland. He was educated at Baregh, his native town, and grew up on a farm, remaining at his early home until twenty-five years old, when he married. The young couple left Ireland shortly after their marriage, crossing the Atlantic and locating at St. John, New Brunswick, where he was employed at shipbuilding for two years. In 1827 they removed to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, whence after a short stay they made another change, to Juniata County, settling in what later became part of Mifflin County, where Mr. Peebles purchased one hundred acres of land. This was their home for several years, until their removal to Venango County in 1837. The family located on a tract of two hundred acres in Plum Township, which was purchased from Samuel Dale, of Franklin. Mr. Peebles proved well adapted to meet the agricultural conditions of this district, prospering so well that he continued to buy lands adjoining until he owned one thousand acres. When he retired from farming, in 1869, he moved into the town of Wallaceville, near by, where he owned the greater part of the valuable property, and there he died. He and all his sons were Democrats politically. He was a Presbyterian in religious belief. [HVC 1919, 657]
