• Notes

  Elijah Head, about the year 1792-'93 moved in on pack-horses from Dutchess county, N.Y., settling what was afterwards known as the Daniel Bowman place, Towanda township. Becoming tired of the privations in the new country, he determined to look for a more favorable location. For this purpose he went into the state of New York where he was accidently killed. He had married Catharine, daughter of Major James Swarthout, and had two children. His widow afterwards married Henry Salisbury, Jr. of Monroe. "Pioneer & Patriot Families of Bradford Co., Penn."
