General Notes: Husband - David Maclay

---

He was brought up on the old Maclay homestead and succeeded to the mill conducted by his father, and known as "Maclay's Mill," where he lived all his life. He was well educated, with a fine library and fond of reading. He was a generous neighbor, an enterprising business man and a public-spirited citizen. It was mainly through his exertions that the first bridge over the Conedoguinet at Maclay's Mill was built in 1823, and after its collapse because of bad workmanship, he was untiring in his exertions until it was replaced by the another structure, in 1828. In politics he was a Republican of the Jefferson school, but manifested a disinclination to accept office. Notwithstanding this reluctance he served two terms in the Pennsylvania Legislature, 1812-14. Upon his return to Maclay's Mill, March 26, 1814, he wrote in his diary: "Safe home to my family; I hope I shall never go there again, or engage in the business of legislation. I am heartily tired of that work." But he was sent back again, 1815-16. In the election for Governor in 1817, he was an ardent friend of William Findlay. In his diary are these entries touching that event: "Oct. 14,-Election day; cloudy, rainy morning, but I hope it will clear up and that Findlay will have a handsome majority." "Oct. 22,-My hopes have been realized." When Findlay was beaten for reelection by Joseph Hiester three years later, his diary contained this laconic entry,-"Bad business-old Joe."
