General Notes: Husband - Samuel McPherson

---

He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and came to the vicinity of Pittsburgh when twelve years of age. He later moved to Washington County.
After marriage he settled first on a farm situated on the county line, and some years afterward bought and moved to another farm on which he later died.
When he first moved to the Cecil Township farm, it contained 145 acres, but he gradually added to the acreage and his sons each became possessed of farms of their own. Between 1835 and 1837 he built a mill which became a busy place, but the old grinding machinery was not in general use after 1876, although a little corn was ground as late as 1880. Mr. McPherson manufactured flour which he sold in Pittsburgh and Cumberland, and purchased corn with which he fed many hogs, using teams of from six to eight horses to transport these loads. He was a prominent man in his community and served as justice of the peace for many years.
