General Notes: Husband - Patrick McBride
He grew to manhood in County Donegal, Ireland, and there married. They lived in their native land until after the birth of their second child, then came to the United States, locating in Venango township, Butler County, PA, where he became the owner of two hundred acres of good farm land. He stood six feet tall, weighed one hundred and ninety pounds, and this bulk of bone and muscle he pitted against the wild forces of the new world, winning his farm from the forest and compelling prosperity to attend his labors. He joined his father in Butler County in 1840, and for half a century lived on his Venango township farm. He was a fine type of the pioneer farmer, strong and robust, honest, industrious and cheerful, his native Irish wit and hopefulness carrying him over the many hard places and lightening the gloom of the pioneer farmer's life. The family were all members of the Roman Catholic church.
