General Notes: Husband - David Whitehill


He received one-half of his father's farm in Southbury township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In April, 1789, he moved to Centre County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased one thousand and forty-three acres of land near the present town of Lamont. He was one of the first elders in the Slab-Cabin Presbyterian Church, donating land for church and grave-yard.

He was a prosperous farmer in Lancaster, where he resided until 1789, when he removed to Potter County and there purchased a tract of one thousand and three acres, near the town of Lamont, and there passed the remainder of his days. In 1792 his name is on a list of residents of Williams township, Potter County, Pennsylvania, and in 1795 he was supervisor of the roads. [GPHAV, 696]
