General Notes: Husband - John McDonald

---

He was born in Virginia; in 1803 he moved to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and the following year purchased 175 acres of land which became known as the old homestead.

He was born on his father's farm near Martinsburg, Virginia, and frequently told his children of the long trip made by wagon from there to Washington County, Pennsylvania, this being before the National Road was built. The way over the mountains was the old Braddock trail. He lived single until fifty years of age and then married. He and his wife lived and died on the family farm, he when aged sixty-four years.
