General Notes: Husband - James McKissick

---

He was brought up on a farm and had limited educational advantages. In 1844 he began farming in Slippery Rock township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and removed to Pinegrove township, Venango County, eight years later. Here he bought land, of which but five acres were cleared, but came to own two hundred and forty-seven acres, of which nearly one hundred were under cultivation.
He was justice of the peace and school director for many years. In politics he was a Democrat.
