General Notes: Husband - Col. Francis McBride

---

The McBride family is of Scotch-Irish extraction and it was established in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, at an early day. Whatever may have been the accomplishments of its earlier members, its later representatives have identified themselves with the interests of Butler County.

He was a notable man in his day, entirely self-taught, the master of a dozen trades, a noted athlete and an astute politician,-his whole life was one of activity. In his earlier years he made puncheon floors for log cabins, later along in life he was a successful practicing attorney at Butler, in 1833 he was elected sheriff of Butler County and he also served as county treasurer. He taught himself surveying and helped to lay out Penn, Clay and Franklin Streets in the city of Butler, the Butler and Freeport turnpike and the Erie Canal. On one occasion, when athletic contests took place a long distance from his home, he walked the whole way to Buffalo Furnace, and then, as champion jumper, won the prize, which was a kitchen outfit of pots, pans and kettles. He was always a conspicuous figure wherever he appeared, being six feet two inches in height, and broad in proportion.
He and his [second?] wife were members of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, he being one of the original twelve pew-holders.
