General Notes: Husband - Robert Dinsmore


He had few educational advantages, it being necessary for him to give his father much assistance on the farm. After his marriage he lived near town for one year and then moved into Chartiers Township, Washington County, and lived near Houston for six years. In 1851 he moved to the old farm of 292 acres situated in South Fayette Township, Allegheny County, and lived there until the time of his death, in 1880. In early manhood he united with the Presbyterian Church but later became a United Presbyterian and his burial was in the cemetery belonging to the Venice Church in Cecil Township. He was a Republican in his political connection.

He and his wife had two sons and one daughter.
