General Notes: Husband - David Shannon
He was seven years of age when his parents settled in Butler County, Pennsylvania. He was a man of good sound sense, gifted with a remarkable memory and a talent for interesting conversation. He served as Justice of the Peace some years, and was editor of the Butler Repository. He learned blacksmithing when young and worked at that trade in Whitestown. He built mills on the Semiconon Creek (a stream named by him, Semiconon, being equivalent to Semi-Connoquenessing).
He was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and came with his parents to Franklin township, Butler County, in 1799. He attended the pioneer subscription schools in early boyhood, and subsequently learned the blacksmith's trade in Pittsburg. Returning to Butler county he followed his trade at Whitestown, purchased 350 acres of land in Connoquenessing township, and followed farming in connection with his trade. He was a stanch Democrat, served as justice of the peace for several years, and also filled the office of coroner. He was at one time connected with the Butler Repository, as editor.
He was born in Down county, Ireland, in 1788, and came with his parents to Butler county in childhood. They settled in Muddy Creek township, where David grew to maturity. He learned the blacksmith's trade, at which he worked for many years, and afterwards purchased the Allen mill property, where he erected a grist, woolen and saw mill. He later sold this property and bought 400 acres of land in Connoquenessing township. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian church, in which he filled the office of elder. He was a Republican, and served as a justice of the peace for several years. He died in 1880. [HBC 1895, 1151]
