General Notes: Husband - Thomas Algeo

---

He was a contract painter, and he and his brother, John, did painting on the first and only ships built in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, also on the first county jail. In the year 1809, he and his brother, John, in connection with their nephews Gregg and William, sons of Rebecca Algeo, established a large store in Pittsburgh for the sale of general merchandise. They sent flour on flatboats to New Orleans, sold the boats and returned via New York with sugar and molasses. The family were among the first members of Rev. Dr. Black's church, the prayer-meeting in connection with which was held in the sitting-room in rear of the store on Market street for many years. Ministers attending meetings of the synod were often entertained by the family in those days, and their residence was often called "the ministers' home."

The brothers Thomas and John Algeo owned some of the most valuable property in Pittsburgh, on Fifth avenue and Wood and Liberty streets.
Thomas died without heirs, and willed his property to his brother, John.
