General Notes: Husband - Samuel Holliday

---

He removed to the Presque Isle settlement in 1795, and became a prominent citizen of Erie, Pennsylvania. Although past the military age he served in the War of 1812.

He was probably the first white settler in Springfield Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania. He was a native of Franklin County, came to Erie County in 1796, and purchased 700 acres on the borders of the lake. He returned to Franklin County in the fall of 1796, and there married. They returned in the spring of 1797, settling on a tract of land in the woods, and built the first cabin in Springfield. They reared a family of three boys and three girls. He was a soldier in the War of 1812. He erected the first saw mill and grist mill there, and conducted the business 25 years. The mills were burned in 1836. He was a prominent man, was one of the founders of the Presbyterian Church at East Springfield, and helped to establish the old graveyard.
