General Notes: Husband - Peter Dempsey

---

He was born in Centre County, Pennsylvania, and came with his father to Venango County, where they settled on the site of the town. Peter spent his life after 1797 in Venango County, engaged in farming and lumbering. He was a Democrat.

He laid out Dempseytown, employing Samuel Dale, who surveyed for him, September 2, 1800, four hundred and one acres of land lying next to the tract owned by his father. On it he built a house, and on the same site later built a hotel that he kept for many years. The old tavern stood until about 1885, when it was destroyed by fire.
