General Notes: Husband - James Harbison

---

He was one of the earliest settlers of Butler County, Pennsylvania. He learned the wheelwright's trade in Westmoreland County, and settled in Butler County in 1794-95, locating on a farm in what is now Middlesex township, known as the Harbison homestead. This farm he cleared and improved, building his cabin in the midst of the primitive forest, and enduring all the trials and privations of pioneer life.
He and his wife were members of the Seceder church, and in politics, he was an adherent of the Whig party.
