General Notes: Husband - Capt. Jackman Taylor Stockdale

---

He was born in Fredericktown, Columbiana County, Ohio, where he resided until in 1849, when he removed to Georgetown, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and in 1864 came to Allegheny, where he settled and resided until his decease. He received a good common-school education, and during his seventeenth year taught school; he then engaged with Capt. Richard Calhoun as clerk on the steamboat American. He followed boating about eighteen years, during which period he built some fifteen boats, and became a well-known captain on the western and southern waters. After he settled in Allegheny City, he became interested in the oil-refining business, and held an interest in the Standard Oil company. He was also president of the Pittsburgh Savings Bank, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, secretary and treasurer of the Pleasant Valley Street railway, and secretary and treasurer of the People's Street railway. He was a member of the Third Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh, and was called to his rest at the age of fifty-nine years. He died leaving his widow and seven children.

He was reared in the county of his nativity, and at the age of twenty years left home and secured work on the river, which in those pre-railroad days offered many inducements to young men possessed of ambition to rise in the world. So it was that he grew to be a real river traffic man, and followed it in one capacity or another up to the time of his death. He organized and owned the Pittsburg, and Cincinnati (Ohio) packet line, and built twenty-eight steamboats in Pittsburgh, which he operated in connection with his river traffic. He was one of the best known Ohio and Mississippi river operators. Captain J. T. Stockdale and Captain Joseph Calhoun built the steamboat Euphrates when Captain Stockdale was only twenty-one years of age. He also transferred soldiers under Grant during the Civil War.
