General Notes: Husband - Joseph Akeley

---

In 1811 emigrated to Chautauqua County, New York, making the entire journey on foot, and living for a few years in the vicinity of Fredonia. While there he enlisted as a substitute for a man by the name of Scott to repel a threatened invasion of the British to destroy government goods stored at the mouth of Canadaway creek. In 1815 he came into the Conewango valley, and in 1817 migrated to Pine Grove, settling on a tract of land on the east side of the Conewango creek, opposite the village of Russell, Warren County, Pennsylvania. On this farm, cleared by his own labor, he passed the remainder of his life, engaged in the cultivation of the soil and in the lumber business.
