General Notes: Husband - Thomas Acheson

---

He came to America in 1786, and settled in Washington, Pennsylvania, with his brother John, with whom he became associated in business. After the death of John, in 1791, he entered into partnership with David, his younger brother, and continued the mercantile business as long as he lived. In 1809 he erected the brick building on which the First National Bank building was later (1882) erected, the old house having been demolished the latter part of May, 1882. In this house Gen. Acheson lived till his death. He was commissioned commissary-general of the army of the United States in 1812. He was a man of pleasing address, and wielded great influence in town and county. He left six children. [HWC 1882, 479]

He came to America in 1794, and settled in Washington, Pennsylvania, with his brother David, and spent his whole life there. In 1809 he built a mansion house on the main street in Washington, where he resided till his death. In the war of 1812 he was a commissary-general.
