General Notes: Husband - Rev. Joseph Stockton

---

He was born in the neighborhood of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and in 1784 the family left that place for a settlement on a farm in the vicinity of Washington, the county seat of Washington County, Pennsylvania.
He married and soon after became an inhabitant of Meadville, Crawford County, which was the first settlement formed in Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh and west of the Allegheny River and Conewango Creek, initiated by Gen. David Mead in 1787. On June 23, 1801, he was ordained and installed the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Meadville. During the nine years he resided there, he had charge of the Meadville Academy, together with the Presbyterian congregations of Meadville and Conneaut Lake.
