General Notes: Husband - Cornelius Vincent
He settled at Warrior Run, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, near Milton.
He grew to manhood in New Jersey, married and had a large family, with whom in 1772 he made the journey to Pennsylvania, his aged father also accompanying him, as did his brother, Peter. At Warrior Run, on the west branch, in Northumberland County, he selected his farm and there lived the hardy life of a pioneer until 1789, when he became a prisoner to the British and Indians, by the terms of surrender of Fort Freeland. By the terms of capitulation all women were to be allowed to go free with their clothing, but the men became prisoners of war. John, the aged father, being so old, was exempted from capture, but Cornelius Vincent and his sons, Bethuel, Daniel and Benjamin, were all taken prisoners to Canada. Cornelius, the father, was kept heavily ironed for about eighteen months, and when he finally returned from captivity, carried the cruel marks of his fetters, marks that he bore to his grave.
On a plain monument in Warrior Run Church graveyard, reared by loving hands, is this inscription: "This monument is erected by John Vincent, esq. to rescue from oblivion the memory of his beloved parents, Cornelius and Phoebe Vincent. They were born in Newark, New Jersey, and died in Milton, Pennsylvania. He died July 16, 1812, in his seventy-sixth year; she died February 25, 1809, in her seventieth year."
