General Notes: Husband - Alexander Aiken
Wurtemburg, Lawrence Co, PA
He located in Wayne Township late in the eighteenth century, being among the earliest pioneers of the locality.
He was a native of Maryland. After spending a few years in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, he came to Lawrence County, and, in connection with his brother, William Aiken (an early settler), erected one of the first grist-mills on Slippery Rock creek, in Wayne township. In addition to the pursuit of agriculture, he also carried on the trade of a carpenter. In connection with his brother-in-law, Thomas Henry, he erected the first hewn-log house in Wayne. The structure was still standing in 1877, and was on the farm of the late Andrew Wilson, in the eastern part of the township.
Mr. Aiken also held for a number of years the office of justice of the peace. He participated in the War of 1812, and spent some time at Erie guarding the British shipping that had been captured by Perry in his naval engagement, and was on board of the identical vessel in which the Commodore himself had fought.
Both he and his wife were connected with what was then called the Union, later the United Presbyterian church. [HLC 1877, 194]
When eighteen years of age, he came to Slippery Rock township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, it was about the year 1795, and bought 200 acres that he cleared and made into a good, productive farm; it was later owned by Mr. McQueston. His frame barn was the first of its kind in the county, and its erection was followed soon afterward by that of a house.
