General Notes: Husband - James Blaine

---

In 1809 opened a dry-goods store next door to Hugh Wilson. Later, he purchased the stone house built by David Bradford. In this house he and his wife lived and died, leaving no children. He was elected justice of the peace in 1817, and served three terms. He was also county treasurer from 1815 to 1817. [HWC 1882, 483]

In 1809 he opened a dry-goods store next to the house of Hugh Wilson in Washington, Pennsylvania, and a few years later they occupied the stone building inherited by his wife, from her father, and erected by David Bradford, of Whiskey Insurrection fame, in which they resided until death removed them from the pioneer circle. Mr. Blaine was a member of the town council in 1816, burgess in 1818-22 and again in 1839, and justice in 1817, 1840 and 1845. [CBRWC, 1423]
