General Notes: Husband - Thomas Brockbank


He was registered at Preston, Patrick Chapel, four miles below Kendal, Westmoreland County; was there reared and educated, and in Kendal.
He married and before leaving their native land two children were born to them: Frances A., and Mary. In June, 1849, the whole family, eleven in number, sailed for America, and on their arrival spent the first three years in Philadelphia. Removing to Elk County, Pennsylvania, he purchased 160 acres of land in the midst of the forest, which he at once began to clear and develop, and continued to make his home thereon some fourteen years. In 1864 he purchased another farm in Union township, Clearfield County, a valuable tract of one hundred acres, of which about half had been cleared, and in the following year brought his family to the place. He then cleared the remainder, erected excellent buildings, and had the place under a high state of cultivation, bringing it to rank among the best farms of Union township.
He was always affiliated with the Democratic party; for twelve years he was the treasurer of his township, and for the period of thirty years held some school office.
He and his wife, with their children, were all devout members of the Catholic Church.
