General Notes: Husband - James Dunlop


He was an eminent lawyer; graduated in Dickinson College, Carlisle, in 1812; was admitted to the Bar in 1817; a member of the Senate in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, about 1825. He was the compiler of Dunlop's Digest of the Laws of Pennsylvania, and a Digest of the Laws of the United States. In 1838 he moved to Pittsburgh, and was a member of the firm of Dunlop & Maderia (George A. Maderia, his brother-in-law), proprietors of the celebrated Siemans Edge Tool Factory. In 1855 he moved to Philadelphia; he was stricken with paralysis in Baltimore, and died there.

He was a man of brilliant wit and caustic humor, and some of his humorous articles had great vogue in their day.
