Jane Crichton Archibald, oldest daughter of the 13 children of the John Crichton family, survived a six-week-long, horrible trip on the sailboat Harmonia in 1848. She and her second husband, Abram Archibald (her first husband was killed in a coal mining accident in Scotland) purchased a 160-acre farm near the Fox River. Later they purchased 113 more acres. In the old directories, Jane Archibald is the only woman listed as a farmer. (Source: http://chicagoscots.net/HC%20Newsletters/2005%20Jan.htm)
