The second child, Lois, had the deformity known as harelip, and lived with her father until his death in 1818, when she removed with her younger sister, Lydia S., to Rowlee Hill, one mile west of Peruville, Tompkins County, N. Y. Their brother, Nathan, had previously settled in this place. Lois was a weaver and made cloth, from which her sister, a seamstress, made clothing. Both were highly respected and very religious women.
