General Notes: Husband - Matthew Hamilton McBride

---

He received as liberal an education as the schools of his day afforded. For a time he taught the district school, and worked on the farm. He was by his father's will made one of the executors of the estate.

In 1824 he and his brother, David, bought the home-stead in North Strabane township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, which they jointly held until November 3, 1835, when he bought David's interest in the farm. This farm was located in what was known as the "Rich Hill section," three miles south of Canonsburg, and one mile from Johnson's Station, C. V. R. R. Immediately after buying David's interest, Mr. McBride with his wife permanently located on the farm, bringing up their children there, and there they died. They were members of the Associate (later United Presbyterian) Congregation of Chartiers, where the venerable Dr. James Ramsey, so long ministered. Mr. McBride was an old-school Democrat, but never made himself prominent in politics. In educational matters, however, he took a deep interest, and he served as school trustee in his township for many years. He was a progressive farmer and successful stock raiser.

He died September 12, 1871. [CBRWC, 864] [TCHWWC, 977]
