General Notes: Husband - Lewis Roth
He accompanied his parents to Butler County, Pennsylvania, and died there when aged seventy-six years. In early manhood he worked as a blacksmith, later was in partnership with James Anderson in conducting a general store at Prospect, later farmed for a time and subsequently resumed mercantile life. In politics he was a Democrat and on one occasion, when he was his party's nominee for the office of county treasurer, he lacked but 100 votes of election, although the county was strongly Republican.
Benjamin Roth, locksmith, came to Prospect, Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1834 and erected a log house. Lewis Roth came in 1836, put up a blacksmith shop of hewed logs and followed his trade fifteen years. He then removed to a farm, but came back to the town later. [Benjamin possibly a brother of Lewis?]
