General Notes: Husband - Josiah Springer

---

He and his brother Nathan were members of the party whose applications for land were in the land-office awaiting the first issue of warrants. The one issued to Josiah was No. 819, for three hundred and sixteen acres, and dated April 3, 1769, the first day warrants were ever given for land in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. This tract was surveyed under the name of "Elk Lick," on June 2, 1770.

He died at his home in Fayette County, and his descendants all removed to the West. His will is the first on record in the county.
