General Notes: Husband - John North
In 1810 he and his wife came from Ireland to the United States, and he secured employment in the DuPont powder works, in Delaware. He served one year in the army during the War of 1812 and was enrolled during the entire conflict, being detailed to work in the powder mills. In the spring of 1818 he came to Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and the first home of the family was an old log schoolhouse standing on what was then the John Mitchell farm. In June, 1818, he bought a tract of land embracing 200 acres in North Mahoning township, where he carried on general farming, engaging also in lumbering.
Coming to America, in 1810, he and his wife located in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where they spent the remainder of their lives. He followed farming and also worked at the weaver's trade, which he had learned in early life.
About 1818 they settled in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, on a farm four or five miles south of Punxsutawney, subsequently owned by his son William.
