Anthony was born within sight of the Blue mountains of Pennsylvania.. In 1828 he moved with his parents to Maryland near Hagerstown.
In the year 1853 he and his family decided to join his parents who had moved to Ogle co. Ill. in 1841. The trip was long and hard, much of it being made by river boat. While being on a boat in Ohio, the boat capsized and the family lost all their possessions They arrived in Ogle co. Ill. with little except the clothes they wore.. They remained there a year.
In the year 1854 the entire family moved to Jasper co. Ia. Anthony Purchased 40 acres of land in section 13, Clear Creek Twp. and built a house. Here he remained. He was an excellent farmer and in the winter months hauled freight overland from the river ports. This occupation contributed to his early death.
Family legend says that Anthony and two other freighters were caught out on the road in an early spring blizzard. Soon the horses and men were exhausted and sought shelter in an abandoned building. The storm lasted 3 days. By the time they reached home Anthony was seriously ill with lung fever. Anthony was ill for weeks but recovered enough to volunteer for military service in the Cavalry. He became suddenly ill again and died two days later. His death left Julia with a family of 8 to care for. The youngest a mere infant.
