General Notes: Husband - John Milton
He received a good education in the schools of his native land. He learned the trade of a damask weaver in Dunfermline, Scotland, and in 1827 immigrated to the United States and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He eventually engaged in the manufacture of woolen and linen goods, by which he acquired considerable means. In April, 1840, he removed to Cranberry township, Venango County, where he had previously purchased a farm of four hundred acres, and settled down to agricultural pursuits. Upon this farm was subsequently developed a large number of oil wells, some of them among the best producing wells of the county. Through this stroke of good fortune he became quite a wealthy man. He was an ardent Democrat, and was often urged by his friends to accept office but refused. While a resident of Cranberry township he took a deep interest in the growth and progress of education, and filled the position of school director of his district. Before coming to this country he was connected with the Presbyterian church, but though an attendant of the church here he never attached himself to any religious body. He was, however, a liberal supporter of every denomination irrespective of faith. In 1880 he removed to Franklin, where he later died. At his death Mr. Milton left to each of his children, and to one of his grandsons, Miles Sage Milton, whom they had adopted, five thousand dollars. [HVC 1890, 1136]
