General Notes: Husband - Thomas Ray

---

He came from his native country in 1850 to join his brother George in Rhode Island, and was employed in a cotton machine shop for three years. He then came to the home of his uncle, Thomas Ray, of Butler County, Pennsylvania, and worked one year on his farm. In 1854 he settled in Mercer County, and rented a farm of Will­iam Gordon, of Lackawannock Township, for three years. The next two years he was on the farm of Robert Gallagher, of Shenango Township. He spent the six subsequent years on the farm of a Mr. Thompson, which was composed of 300 acres. At the close of this period he bought a house and lot in West Middlesex, and was there engaged in dealing in cattle for six years. In 1870 he bought a farm in Lackawannock Township, which he traded in 1888 to Kimmell for another farm. He was an elder in the United Presbyterian Church of Sharon, and was a Democrat.
