General Notes: Husband - James F. Agnew


He resided in Venango County, PA, near Emlenton.
His father had built the first carding mill in the area at Richey Run which he operated for many years. When his father died, instead of his older brother John getting the mill, son James F. Agnew inherited it.
In 1829 the Agnew Post Office was established at what was called Agnew Mill. James F. Agnew became the postmaster and continued to serve as such for the next 50 years until he died. This was the longest tenure of a postmaster up to that time, 1879.
