General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Bonsall


He was born near Millerstown, in Perry County, Pennsylvania, where his father also lived and died. On reaching manhood he married, and they continued to reside on his father's old homestead until November, 1824, when they located near Luthersburg, in Brady township, Clearfield County, where he purchased a tract of timberland and erected a log cabin. During the sixteen years of his residence there he cleared a part of the farm, but at the end of that time he sold out and bought at Coal Hill, two miles east of Luthersburg, where he also developed a good farm. He first built a hewed-log house and barn, but later replaced the former by a large frame residence, where both he and his estimable wife died in 1863, the latter surviving her husband only three weeks. He was the first justice of the peace in Brady township.
