General Notes: Husband - James Mackall


In 1817, he bought two hundred and forty-four acres of land [in Beaver County, Pennsylvania,] and began agricultural pursuits. He made all the improvements on this land, and was recognized as an enterprising and progressive farmer. He was a Whig and a Republican in politics, and served as county commissioner. Religiously, he was a member of the Episcopal church.

He was born in Loudon County, Virginia. When he was fourteen years of age he came to Pennsylvania, having first lived for a time in Maryland. His educational advantages had been very limited, and from a very early age he was self-supporting, but in spite of handicaps of this nature he rose to a prominent position in local affairs, enjoying the confidence and respect of his fellows. His home was in Greene township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, and he held the numerous township offices, at one time serving as county commissioner. He was a lieutenant of militia but was never called into service, although at the time of the second war with Great Britain the company was expecting marching orders at almost any time. [GPHBC, 549]
