General Notes: Husband - Isaac Soawash
He came to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, with his daughter Susan and son William in the spring of 1826. They slept first in the county at the Junkin Mills, and the second night in a log cabin on his farm in Lackawannock Township. On arriving at the cabin in the evening they found it to be a log structure with roof, but no floor or windows. They crept under the bottom log, and with brush prepared a bed for the night. His daughter Susan, then a very young cook, arranged the kettle on a pole laid in forks, and made coffee and prepared a supper. Soon after he constructed a better house. He worked some days for Mr. Robert Fruit, and while his little daughter was attending to the household duties, and alone in the woods, wild hogs surrounded the cabin, and she climbed upon the joists for safety, and hurled stones at them, driving them away. In August, 1826, he with his two children went for the remainder of the family. They soon returned to Mercer County. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, having served under William H. Harrison.
