General Notes: Husband - James Moorhead

---

He was born on the tract bought by his father, in Beaver (later Lawrence) County, Pennsylvania, between New Castle and Mahoningtown, later included within the city limits.
He was engaged in pursuits of an agricultural nature all his life, and owned in addition to the ordinary farm buildings a still-house, as it was the custom in those days for every well-to-do farmer to utilize his surplus crop of rye in the manufacture of spirits. Everyone kept a decanter of "old rye" on the sideboard, and its contents were as free as water.
