General Notes: Husband - Phillip Dale

---

He was bound out to learn the cutlery or whitesmith trade. Later, in company with the man with whom he learned his trade, he emigrated to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Here he was married and his children were born. In 1813 they left Westmoreland County and located in Venango (later Clarion) County, near what is now known as Elk City. In the early days this place was also known as Daletown. When they arrived at this place they found it an unbroken wilderness where the Indian still roamed and hunted. Here they began to clear the forest and prepare the ground as best they could for the seed. For years they were compelled to chase the deer from the grain fields. The shrill blow of the elk was also heard and many were brought to the ground by the trusty flint-lock rifle. In 1840 Phillip Dale moved with his son Daniel to near the mouth of Redbank, where he remained until his death and where he was buried. [Dale Ancestry]
