General Notes: Husband - Clark Rathbun

---

He was a native of New England who moved to Pennsylvania and engaged in the milling business on the Youghiogheny River above Elizabethtown. Previous to 1797 he purchased a tract of land in what is now the south-western part of Penn Township, Butler County, and erected a cabin and brought hither his son Thomas and his daughter Ruth, the latter being a girl of about thirteen years of age. Leaving his two children to keep possession of the place, he returned to Allegheny County, to his business of milling at Robbins's mill during the winter. The following season the Rathbun family took up their abode in the wilderness, and lived there a few years, after which nearly all of the members went to Ohio.
