General Notes: Husband - Andrew Wible
He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, attended a subscription school in boyhood, where both English and German were taught, and grew to maturity in his native county. He came to Pittsburgh at an early date, and worked under Major Craig in the erection of Fort Pitt, which was built on the site of that city. In 1799 he married, settled on a farm, and followed farming the remainder of his life.
He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, whence he migrated in 1790 to East Liberty, Pittsburgh. Later he moved to Shaler township, Allengheny County, and took up a large tract of land on which he resided until his death.
He came to East Liberty, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, when a young man, where he was a teamster; later he went to Pittsburgh, where he hauled the pickets used in building the blockhouse at Fort Pitt, James Sample and Robert Anderson hewing the logs. In 1801 he came to the north side of the Allegheny river, where he bought a government tract of 228 acres, and settled down to the pursuit of farming. He reared a family of twelve children; in 1889 six were still living, three boys and three girls.
He was one of the first settlers on the north side of the river, when Indians and wild animals were still plentiful. At one time he was employed laying out roads and stopped with some Indians to get his dinner, which consisted of hominy. He relished his meal very much until he found a piece of bear's paw with the hair on it in the hominy, which spoiled his appetite for that meal. Wolves were plentiful, also deer, of which he shot a great many. He and his son John were once chased by a panther, and it came so close behind them before reaching the house they could hear its teeth snapping together. He was quite a prominent man in those days, and was for some years a director of the county poor. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and politically was a democrat, taking quite an active part in politics. He and his wife were Presbyterians.
