General Notes: Husband - Joseph Culley


He was born in Maryland, was brought by his parents to Washington County, Pennsylvania, in infancy. He was reared on the farm, received a subscription-school education, and there learned the cooper's trade. When his father died, the management of the large farm was given to Joseph and an older brother, Jesse.
He and his wife passed their lives on a portion of the "Old Scott Tract," near Raccoon creek, in the eastern part of Hanover township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He followed his trade, and being a very skillful workman could easily set up ten barrels a day, besides attending to the general duties of the farm. He was an old-time Whig, but united with the Republican party upon its organization. He possessed the spirit of industry, which seems to be a special characteristic of this family, and was an influential citizen. He died on the farm, and he and his wife are buried side by side in the Florence cemetery. Both were conscientious members of the Cross Creek Presbyterian Church.
