General Notes: Husband - John Smith
His early life was spent on the old farm in Bradford township, Clearfield County, PA, and his first employment was that of pilot on the Susquehanna river. This he followed continuously some fifty years, enduring many hardships. In 1849 he began lumbering, and sent many rafts down the river, having made as many as seventeen trips in one season. He was also engaged in farming, and owned one thousand acres of land in Clearfield County, two hundred of which were under cultivation. He also had an interest in five hundred acres of coal land in that county, and was an extensive and successful speculator. He took an active interest in politics, first as a Whig, later as a Republican, and served as treasurer of West Clearfield borough.
