General Notes: Husband - Zerah Rockwell

---

He was born in Windsor, Connecticut, and was about twelve years of age when he came with his father and the other members of the family to Berkshire, Massachusetts. His father had bought a farm there and was also a manufacturer of rakes. In this his son assisted him until 1816 when, in association with his brother Bernard, he went to Crawford County, Pennsylvania, to investigate conditions there. He was well pleased with conditions and purchased a tract on French creek. In the summer of 1818, he transported his family to the region, making the journey by means of an ox team, and during first year, occupied the log school house, which was located on what became known as Yankee Hill. In the course of time they cleared about one hundred acres of land, put up saw and rake mills, and prospered.
In 1825 he and his wife joined the Presbyterian church.
