Captured here, on Geni
Confessed to the murder of her infant child and was sent to prison in Chester County. (Dec. 1859)\
The online Chester County Prison Discharges 1843-1872 shows no record of her having been released. She probably was ony detained for a short while.
She and Levi went on to have three more daughters.
