General Notes: Husband - Rev. Andrew McDonald


He was a graduate of Jefferson College, studied for the ministry, and was pastor of White Oak Flats Presbyterian Church for a number of years.

He graduated at Jefferson College October 27, 1803. After studying theology under Rev. John McMillen, D.D., he was licensed to preach in 1806, and was installed pastor of the Mt. Carmel and Sharon congregations (then known as White Oak Flats and Flaugherty) (Beaver & Mercer counties, Pennsylvania?) August 24, 1809, continuing in this relation for 13 years with great success; but owing to mental derangement, the connections were severed. A few months prior to his death, however, he recovered his reason, and was able to write a letter to his family, mente sana.

He and his wife were natives of Washington County, Pennsylvania, where they were married. They moved to Hopewell township, Beaver County, in 1810, and there remained until their deaths. He came to Beaver County as a missionary, before he was married. He was a minister of the Presbyterian church, and preached a great many years. He and his wife were the parents of eight children, four were still living in 1888.

He was a Presbyterian minister who organized the first church at Sewickley, Pennsylvania, and for many years was minister at that place.

In 1800, the year in which they attained their majority, he and his twin brother William settled on a tract of land [in Beaver County, Pennsylvania?] extending along the Ohio river for four miles, a site part of which was later occupied by Woodlawn. [GPHBC, 1045]
