General Notes: Husband - Joseph Suter

---

He migrated from the eastern part of Pennsylvania to Westmoreland County during the latter part of the seventeenth century [sic., eighteenth century], settling in East Huntingdon township. There he cleared and improved a farm of three hundred acres of fertile, well laid out land. He served as a captain in the Revolutionary War.

He started originally to make his home in Kentucky. On the way thither, however, he visited a friend who had settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, who had taken up three hundred acres of land in what was then practically a virgin wilderness. Upon seeing it Joseph Suter was so pleased with its character and location that he decided to go no further, but purchased the property from his friend. Here, about 1792, he settled, and in 1804 built the original stone house, where his family resided for forty odd years. It was replaced in 1847 by a brick house, erected by his son, Solomon. The property came to include some very fine land and was well watered by perennial springs which afforded a copious supply for the house and farm buildings.
