General Notes: Husband - Adam Zerby


As his parents were in limited circumstances, he was given no educational advantages. When a young man he learned the weaver's trade, which he followed in connection with farming, and also operated a sawmill for many years. In 1847 he removed to Penn township, on Penn creek, where he purchased eighty acres of land, going in debt for the same, but fortunately his sons were of much assistance to him, and he soon had a comfortable home. Upon that farm his death occurred when he was nearly seventy years of age. He was a quiet, unassuming man, six feet, three inches in height, who enjoyed excellent health up to the time of his last illness. He was a firm supporter of Democratic principles, but cared nothing for public office, and was a faithful member of the Evangelical Church.
