General Notes: Husband - William Langfitt
"the hero of the frontier of Beaver County, Pennsylvania"
He was born on the eastern shore of Maryland, came west in youth, and "tomahawked" the road from Washington to Georgetown. He married and settled in Hanover township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
He was the third man west of the mountains. He was shot by the Indians, but recovered from his wounds and lived to be ninety-four years old [same source: he died when ninety-eight].
The old Langfitt homestead originally contained 343 acres, and was called "Indiana." An blockhouse built for protection from the Indians stood on the farm.
General Notes: Wife - Margaret Campbell
She died at the age of eighty-eight years.
