Henry lived near the old Smith homestead for many years, then moved to Beaver County with the three little girls. Their grandson, William F., son of Robert Smith, took over the farm later on.
The brothers (Jacob and Henry) with their families occupied the same house for a short time and were the only two children of their family to move to Beaver County.
Henry and Mary Ann were members of the Frankfort Springs Presbyterian Church in Beaver Co., PA. Henry was a trustee and that is where they are buried. They helped to organize the beginning of the church.
The grandchildren all had common school education and were farmers and stock raisers except for David Keifer McCollough who was in the oil business.
The sons in laws of the Keifers were both elders. Of the grandsons, G.H. McCollough is an elder and John C. Keifer a trustee.
