General Notes: Husband - David McClay

---

He was born on the home farm in Canton township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where his youth was passed amid the rudest of pioneer surroundings, his education consisting of hard lessons in the school of toil and privation. By dint of close observation and practical common sense, he surmounted those early obstacles to success, and became a prosperous and well-informed man.
He was an active Republican in politics.
In 1855 he united with the U. P. Church at West Middletown, then under the ministry of Isaac Everett, but later he became a member of the church at Washington.
He died leaving to his heirs about four hundred acres of land.
