General Notes: Husband - Alexander McBride

---

He was a native of the Emerald Isle. He emigrated to America when eighteen years old, in 1820. He located along Slippery Rock Creek in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and for many years he devoted his time to school teaching. He bore the appellation of the "Irish Schoolmaster." The first grist mill erected and operated within the limits of the township was erected and run by Mr. McBride. Soon after he got the grist mill in operation, he attached a saw mill, and in connection with the mill operated it for years\emdash until 1850. He was a prominent man in the township in educational matters and in business enterprises. He filled the office of Justice of the Peace for several terms. [HBC 1883, 358]

He was a merchant of the days gone by, and was a native of Ireland. He left his native land at seventeen years of age, and lived to enjoy many seasons of summer and winter, which silvered his hair and beard, but did not sap his wonderful vitality. He was noted in his time for his wonderful aptness with figures and anything in the mathematical line.
