General Notes: Husband - Levi Springer

North Union Twp, Fayette Co, PA - a farmer

He was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and was raised there, being instructed in childhood, according to the manner of the times, in domestic private schools. Early in life he engaged in boating from Brownsville to New Orleans, Louisianna, and frequently made return trips home from that far-off point on horseback through the wilderness, though sometimes coming back by vessel as far as New York.
His active lifetime home was within a quarter of a mile of his birthplace, which was first taken possession of by the elder Levi Springer under the law of "tomahawk improvement." After his boating days he led the life of a farmer mainly, but occasionally dealt in real estate, and withal became a man of wealth. His judgment of the value of lands and other property was excellent, and leading operators in his vicinity were wont to consult him when proposing to invest their money. He was a man of large stature, very energetic, of strong will, and, it is said, never failed to accomplish what he undertook. He was an old-line Whig, and afterwards a Republican, taking earnest interest in politics.
