General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Briggs

---

He was fifteen years of age when he came to Erie County, Pennsylvania, and identified himself thoroughly with its interests. He acquired a farm of about one hundred and fifty acres, which he brought to a fine state of cultivation. He was a leader in the denomination of Seventh Day Adventists, and was considered the best read Bible scholar in that section.
