General Notes: Husband - Samuel Denniston
He was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. In the year 1827 he and two of his brothers-Joseph and William-purchased the Jacob Long farm in Peters township, Washington County, whither they moved with their parents. They worked this farm together for about twelve years, when Samuel disposed of his interest to his brothers, and purchased and moved to the farm in Union township later owned and occupied by his sons, William and Thomas Denniston, where he spent the remainder of his life.
He and his wife lived on a farm near Thompsonville, Pennsylvania, until April 1, 1839, when they bought the William James farm in Union township, Washington County. Here he conducted an extensive farming business, giving his attention chiefly to sheep and cattle raising. In 1850 he erected all necessary buildings.
In politics he was a strong advocate of the principles of the Republican party. In religion he held to the faith of his father who was a rigid Presbyterian.
