Notes for: Elizabeth E. Lawshe

I believe the following comes from the GenWeb page Lycoming County, PA. I'm not sure it has to do with this Elizabeth Lawshe, but I would be that Abraham was her father.

Abraham Lawshe came in 1803 and also established a tannery. He was a native of New Jersey, but learned his trade at York, Pennsylvania. Thomas Edward had established a small tannery, which Mr. Lawshe purchased. In November, 1806, he married Miss Elizabeth Bailey, by whom he had six daughters. Eleanor, one of the number, married John A. Gamble, whom she survives; Sarah married Allison White, who represented this district in the XXXVth Congress. All are deceased but Mrs. Gamble, Mrs. Quiggle, and Mrs. Bodine. His first wife dying he married, second, Miss Anna Hamilton, in 1824. The fruits of this marriage were Robert H., John, Anna A., Priscilla H., and M. Elcy. Robert and John have both represented this district in the legislature. The former resides in Jersey Shore and the latter in Williamsport. Mr. Lawshe was an elder in the Presbyterian church for many years. He was noted for his integrity, and all business entrusted to him was faithfully attended to. For several years he held the office of justice of the peace. Mr. Lawshe was a fine looking man of commanding form and ruddy complexion. He died, February 10, 1862, in his eighty-second year. His, widow survived him a number of years, dying in 1886.
