Person:Nancy Marsh (20212)

from "Notable People in Warren County History" ANDREW H. LUDLOW Andrew H. Ludlow was born in 1807, we speculate somewhere near Lander, Pennsylvania. He was appointed clerk of commissioners in 1837 and served in that capacity until his death in 1863. He surveyed much of Warren County and was probably more familiar with the county's land interests and titles than any other man. Mr. Ludlow married Nancy Marsh, the youngest of the sixteen children of Hugh Marsh, the pioneer settler of Marshtown which was in the vicinity of Eisenhower School. Mr. Ludlow was an accurate and artistic surveyor and from the maps he made it is evident that he had better than an average education. Whenever possible he acquired land and at his death owned thousands of acres in Warren and McKean Counties. He was a local agent for the Holland Land Company. He also served on the borough council. He was treasurer of the Franklin Turnpike Company, whose president was Dr. Irvine. He owned the Ludlow House, an early hotel on Market St., where the old high school stood. His residence was on Liberty St., and he owned the Ludlow block on the corner of Liberty and Second Avenue, where the Kresge building stood. He owned a mill and extensive lumber operations in McKean County, which came to be known as Ludlow. He was among the first to get into the oil business in 1859 and amassed a fortune in oil. He died four years later at the early age of 56, a rich man. He had quite an impact on Warren County's growth.

Nancy is buried in the Marsh Cemetery, Farmington Twp. Warren County,PA
