General Notes: Husband - Robert McFate

---

He was born in Londonderry, Ireland, and immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1836, where he found employment in the construction of the Pennsylvania canal. Later he removed to Venango County, and purchased a farm near Oil City. In 1860 the oil excitement in that vicinity brought him a purchaser, and he sold his farm at a good price, and bought land in Slippery Rock township, Butler County, embracing 150 acres.
In politics, he was a Democrat, and in religion, was a member of Bethel United Presbyterian church, of Slippery Rock township.
