General Notes: Husband - J. Henry Poellot

---

He was the youngest son of the nine children of his parents. At the age of thirteen he learned the wagon-maker's trade, serving an apprenticeship of three years, and in company with a brother came to America in 1847. Soon after his arrival he located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and there remained until 1852; moved to Bridgeville in 1859, where he has since resided. [HAC 1889 ii, 475]

He was born in Nuremberg, Germany, about 1828. In 1848 he came to the United States with his brothers, Tobias and Peter. The brothers located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the East Liberty district, J. Henry working for the Harrisons at wagonmaking, a trade which he had learned in Germany with his father. About 1852 he moved to Clifton in Upper St. Clair township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and there started a wagonmaking shop for himself. He remained in business at Clifton until 1859, then removed to Bridgeville in the same county and engaged in the same business. He continued wagonmaking until 1888, then formed with his sons, George Washington and William H., the hardware firm of H. Poellot & Sons. He remained at the head of this firm until his death.
He was an elder of the Presbyterian Church for eighteen years until his death, and served a long time as school director. He was a supporter of the Democratic party until about twenty years previous to his death, then became an ardent Prohibitionist. [GPHWP, 212]
