Biography

Son of Abram Biddle 1816-1865 and Lydia A Jane Barger 1823-1896

John married Sarah Philadelphia booth in 1867.

John and Sarah had ten (10) children, per courtesy of great-granddaughter Karen Biddle Younce.

John was buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery, Unionville, Centre County, Pennsylvania, USA. Find A Grave memorial (??# 95702407 ) # 31150119

OBSERVATION BY profile manager D. Curtis: PLEASE NOTE that John's gravestone reflects he was born in 1854, However, his marriage license (Pennsylvania marriage index) to Sarah in 1867 reflects he was born in 1845 which seems more practical. If he was born in 1854 he would have been 13 years old when married. Therefore the gravestone was incorrectly engraved with the 45 inverted to 54. It is also VERY doubtful a 17 year old Sarah would marry a 13 year old boy and have a child a few months later.

Courtesy of Karen Biddle Younce October 14, 2017: DEATH CERT of John Wesley Biddle reflects birth and death dates as April 3, 1844 born in Pennsylvania and Died July 28, 1923 at Patton, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Correct Find a grave memorial number is : 31150119 AND the name Fletcher is not associated with THIS John Wesley Biddle which has since been removed.
