General Notes: Husband - Benton A. Williams
He attended the common schools, and was brought up at farm labor. He began for himself at the age of twenty-three years, renting a farm of 175 acres in Hickory Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, of Everhart, Satterfield & Co., for seventeen years. He kept the cattle for this company, and after awhile became a partner in the stock. In 1868 he began cultivating a farm, known as the "Truesdale Farm," which he continued for five years. In 1872 he bought a farm in Jackson Township, and five years later he purchased the J. P. Kerr farm of 285 acres, in East Lackawannock Township, paying for the same $28,000 cash. [HMC 1888, 898]
