General Notes: Husband - John English

---

He attended school in Ireland until fourteen years of age, then came with his parents to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, there completing his education and learning his trade with John Bowers, confectioner and baker. He worked with Mr. Bowers until the latter's death in Philadelphia in 1830, then continued in the employ of the widow, who succeeded to the business and eventually he married a daughter of his employer, and engaged in business for himself. In 1841 he moved to western Pennsylvania, locating in Allegheny City (Pittsburgh, North Side), where he was one of the first members of the regular city police force and held a position in the state penitentiary. In 1848, owing to ill health, he was obliged to forsake city life and, purchasing fifty acres in Pine township, Allegheny county, resided thereon for several years. Later he moved to Butler County, where he owned and operated a farm of two hundred and twenty-five acres. Later he returned to Allegheny County and with his wife passed his last years at the home of his son, Andrew Bowers English, who had been left a widower. He enlisted with his son, John, in the Union army under President Lincoln's first call for "three months" men, but did not see much active service.
