General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Morgan Brackenridge

---

He was never actively engaged in business, and he died at the age of thirty-five years.

He received his education in Philadelphia and Washington, Pennsylvania, and inherited a very extensive tract of land from his mother, Caroline Marie Brackenridge, located in Harrison township, Allegheny County. He was a scientist, an artist and a fine chemist, but his health was too delicate to permit him to follow his inclinations.

General Notes: Wife - Phillipine Stieren

---

She, her son, and her granddaughters were-
All at the Brackenridge homestead, known as "The Grove," located just below Natrona, on the Allegheny river, their residence being conspicuous in a lawn descending gently to the river, and in the summer-time surrounded and bathed by the sweet perfume of rare plants and shrubs; in the colder season enlivened with wit and humor, and the graces which center there would, all combined, lead one to exclaim, "Verily, this of the world is the Vol de florie."
