Notes for John Closser:
John Closser, moved from "Old Virginia" to Washington county, Penn., about 1790, and, settling on the farm which is now the property of Stephen B. Day, took up a tract of 200 acres, which he owned for several years. He was united in marriage with a Miss Peck, of Amwell township, and to their union were born three sons and two daughters: James, Daniel, Anna (Mrs. Chambers), A. J. and Athla (Mrs. Van Kirk). Mr. Closser had a limited school education, but was a well-informed man. Politically he was a Democrat, always taking an active interest in the welfare of his party and all public affairs of the township. In his religious views he was a Quaker. He lived on the farm twenty-four years, and after his death, which occurred in 1814, it became the property of his two sons.
