General Notes: Husband - John S. Waldron

---

He grew to manhood on his father's farm in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. He served in the war of 1812, in the Lake squadron, then considered a doubly dangerous position. In 1817, he emigrated to Butler County, and purchased a farm where his son W. S. would later reside, then in a state of nature. In common with other pioneers, he was not blessed with much of this world’s goods, and having an ox and horse they were harnessed together, and constituted his team for farm work. He was a man exceedingly generous and kind, and although in straitened financial circumstances, assisted many a poor widow in cultivating her farm. By occupation, he was alternately a school teacher, farmer and mechanic. He was for forty years an Elder in the Presbyterian Church. He was a typical pioneer, industrious, honest and generous, willing at any time to render assistance to the needy. [HBC 1883, 232x]
