General Notes: Husband - William Wray

---

He emigrated to America and settled first in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was for some time the warden of the penitentiary, and in 1847 removed to Clarion County, where he engaged in the lumber business until his death. He was a Republican in politics, and a Presbyterian in religion, being for many years an elder in the church.

He was a native of the North of Ireland, and when eight­een years of age sailed for the New World, first locating in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he met and mar­ried his wife. For a number of years he held the position of keeper of the Eastern Penitentiary in Philadel­phia, but in 1847 came to Clarion County, taking up his residence in North Pine Grove. He pur­chased a large tract of timber land in Forest County, and also 137 acres of farming land in Farmington township, Clarion County, of which only a few acres had been cleared and a log house erected thereon. This he later replaced by a large two-story frame residence, and also built good barns and other outbuildings. Pros­pering in his undertakings, he subse­quently bought another tract of 160 acres of tim­ber land, a 200-acre wooded tract on Maple creek, 130 acres adjoining his home farm, and a third interest in a tract of timber land on Tom's run, where he successfully engaged in the manufacture of sawed lumber for a number of years. He was one of the largest dealers in square timber on the Clarion river, and shipped his products to the Allegheny City and Pittsburgh markets. Through­out his entire life he continued to extensively en­gage in lumbering, and also built coal boats for the Western markets. [CBRCP: CCJC, 1579]
