General Notes: Husband - Jesse Alexander Cunningham

---

He settled in Reedsville, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and was engaged in cabinet-making. In 1831, he removed to Kishacoquillas, Pennsylvania, and continued in the same business until his death by apoplexy. True to the martial spirit of his "forbears," he was active in military affairs. On April 10, 1830, he organized the volunteer company called the "Kishacoquillas Blues," composed of many of the most prominent citizens of the valley. The company was noted for its fine appearance and superior drill.
He was not only a skilled mechanic and a diligent man of business, but he was also known to be of strict integrity, pure and upright in his life. Constant to the faith as well as to the character of his forefathers, he was of the Presbyterian denomination. His politics were Democratic.

He was suddenly killed by a fall while erecting a building. [DJA, 52]
