General Notes: Husband - William Sampson

---

He came, when a young man, in company with several brothers, from their native home in Ireland to the shores of America, and made a permanent settlement in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
In 1812 he moved to Horse Shoe Bottom, in Carroll township, Washington County, where he successfully followed farming and distilling, at the time of his death owning 200 acres of land, part of which he had bought at $12 per acre. In his day grain was cut with a sickle, and he was famed far and near for his dexterous handling of that primitive implement, and for the amount of wheat, barley, oats or grass he could cut in a day.
He died at the age of forty-five years. [CBRWC, 656]

He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. [CBRWC, 828, 922, 1322]
