General Notes: Husband - William K. Vandergrift
He and his wife spent the first six months of their wedded life at Wood's run, and from there removed to Manchester, which later became part of Allegheny City, where they were living when the great flood of 1832 occurred. In April, 1833, they removed to Pittsburgh, and resided about five years on Water street, between Wood and Smithfield streets, and also for five years near what is now the head of Fourth avenue, where they were when the great fire of 1845 worked such terrible devastation. Driven from their home by this calamity, they removed to Birmingham, later known as South Side, Pittsburgh, where they lived thereafter.
