General Notes: Husband - Obadiah Higbee

---

He settled in New Jersey, and, like his father, was a farmer. He had no son old enough to do military duty during the Revolutionary war, but two young men raised by him entered the army and did good service, while he acted at times as a courier for the Continental armies. In 1784 he sold his farm in New Jersey, and moved to Washington County, Pennsylvania. Wishing to look around before purchasing, he rented from Henry Magner a farm near what was later called Finleyville, formerly Rogue Alley. He had accepted, in a large measure, Continental currency for his New Jersey farm, and this became worthless before he purchased, entailing a very serious loss, and making it necessary for him to rent for some years. Nothing daunted, he persevered, and in about ten years was able to buy a farm in Allegheny County, near Castle Shannon.
