General Notes: Husband - Samuel S. Danley


His parents died about 1819, when their children were yet young, and the children passed into the care of others, S. S. being given in charge of an uncle, John Scott.

He was reared by his uncle, John Scott, a resident of East Finley township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, his education being received at the subscription schools of the period; but Mr. Danley was a close student and a great reader, and lost no opportunity of improving his education. He lived with his relatives until his marriage.
After his marriage he located on the property left him by his uncle, situated near the headwaters of the Templeton fork of Wheeling creek, and a short distance from Bartholdi postoffice, in East Finley township, and here he passed the remainder of his busy life, improving the property and adding to his possessions, which at the time of his death were extensive. He and his wife were members of the Dog Wood Grove U. P. Church. Politically Mr. Danley was first a Whig and afterward, on the formation of the party, a stanch Republican.
