General Notes: Husband - John Adsit

---

He served in the Revolutionary War, with Captain Abner Hawley's Company, Regiment of Albany Militia, and had an outstanding record as a runner and athlete. He left New York state about 1823 to visit his son, Richard, who had migrated into Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in 1818. First settling near Meadville, John Adsit later moved near Linesville and in 1820 permanently settled two miles south of Conneaut Lake, where he and the generations to follow, farmed, lumbered, and plied various building trades. His death and burial took place on this homestead, it being his choice that he be buried on a knoll north of the house. This site became what has since been known as the Adsit Cemetery, where the greatest number of family burials have since been made, the land having been donated by his son, Richard, for this purpose.
