General Notes: Husband - John Postlethwaite

---

He removed from Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, to Westmoreland County, and in 1818 to a farm in Perry township, Jefferson County.

He came to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, in 1815, after twenty years' residence in Westmoreland county, purchasing four hundred acres from the state, in what is now Perry township. The home was established a half mile northwest of Perrysville (Hamilton), and a log house was built when the rest of the family came. Like many others of his day Mr. Postlethwaite made whisky, operating a still. Here he passed the remainder of his life, dying at the homestead in 1852. He was a Democrat and a Presbyterian.
