General Notes: Husband - James Clokey

---

He was reared and educated in the old country, coming to America at an early date. He settled in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, remaining there until 1812, when he moved to Washington County and purchased the farm later occupied by his son, Samuel. He followed farming and stock raising in connection with the distilling business most of his life. In politics he was an active worker in the Whig party, and in religion was a member of the Seceder Church at Peters Creek, and assisted in organizing the Seceder Church at Pigeon Creek.

He purchased on the 5th of May, 1813, a tract of land situated on both sides of Chartiers Creek, and containing three hundred and eighty acres.

He was a member of the Seceder Church at Peters Creek, about eleven miles from his home, and he was wont to make the journey on horseback. As one of the organizers of the Seceder Church near Pigeon Creek, he was a liberal supporter of it, and for years was one of the trustees; in his political associations he was a lifelong, Old-line Whig. In addition to his farming interests, he operated distilleries in both Dauphin and Washington counties.
