John Grady was a cooper by training and notes in his own handwriting showthat he continued that profession in addition to farming and hiring outas an extra hand for farm neighbors. Some of his history can be seen onthe accompanying account writt en for his son, Israel. His accounts areinteresting on two counts. They showed that John had either minimal orno formal schooling. But he did keep accounts and his spelling was veryoften phonetic. That is, he spelled things just as he heard them, notthe way they appeared in the dictionary.
His wife, Elizabeth, also kept records in the same book, whichstarted out as a copy book for Elizabeth when she apparently wasattending school in her early years. She used nature to advantage as shepassed on several home made remedies for t he various maladies that wouldbe common to settlers in a wild and undeveloped area of Wayne County inthe early 1800\'s.
Their farm location is in the southwest corner of Green Township. Itis west of present day County Road 73 and south of County Road 23,approximately 1 mile south of Weilersville. The Pennsylvania Rail Roadnow runs through a portion of the pr operty. This property purchased in1823 from Thomas Smith was accomplished some 8 years after the marriageJohn and Elizabeth, and after the birth of 4 of their children. Wherethey lived in those 8 years is a mystery.
The Wayne County Census of 1850 shows them living in Greene Twp.with the estate valued at $3000.

They are both buried in the Portage Road Cemetery along with severalof their children. The latter\'s grave markers are merely shown withinitials that only can be identified if one actually knows the names ofthe children.
