Biography

She was born about 1789.

They raised their family on a North Carolina farm until hard times were encountered in the late 1830s. With crop failure and overcrowding, several families of that area, decided to seek better living conditions to the west and undertook the migratory trek over the Cumberland Gap.

By 1840 their had moved to the northeast part of Maury County, Tennessee, USA where their oldest daughter and oldest son married. Their second oldest son married and settled near Murray, Calloway County, Kentucky, USA.

About 1845 they moved to the "new farming frontier" in southern Illinois, USA and resided near Vienna in Johnson County, Illinois, USA.

She passed away about 1879 and was buried at Bethlehem Church Cemetery in Grantsburg, Johnson County, Illinois, USA. [1]
