General Notes: Husband - Jonathan S. Cheney

---

He came to Southwest, Warren County, Pennsylvania, from Windham County, Connecticut, in 1827, and settled on a farm about a mile east of Enterprise, on the Hender­son road.

He was born in Connecticut, received his education in that state, and also learned farming. He walked from Connecticut to Pleasantville, Pennsylvania, alone, and about 1820 moved to Southwest township, where he had the distinction of being the first settler, and the first man to cut a log and build. On a farm of 100 acres he erected a log house, and barns, and after much clearing, did some farming, but made a business of lumbering. He was a successful jobber and in his time bought and sold considerable timber.
He moved to Southwest township when there were no roads, and he did much to open and build them. He was a stanch Democrat, and served as constable. It was necessary for him to walk from Southwest to Warren in order to attend the quarterly sessions. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and died at the advanced age of eighty-four years.
