General Notes: Husband - Sheshbazzar Bentley McIlvaine

---

He was a substantial farmer and one of the leading citizens of the eastern part of Washington County, Pennsylvania.

Throughout his life he was actively engaged in farming operations. During the early part of the civil war it was not possible for him to enter the ranks of the army, as the care of a young family depended upon him, so much against his will he was obliged to pay for a substitute. Toward the close of the war he accepted the draft. Lee's surrender, however, brought the struggle to a close before Mr. McIlvaine saw any active service. He was an earnest member of the Presbyterian church, in which faith he raised his large family. For some years he was a member of the Whig party, but joined the Republican ranks upon the formation of that political body. He never had any desire to hold official position in political matters, but he was a powerful factor in such matters in the section of the country in which he lived, and had numerous prominent and influential friends among the leaders in the Republican party. For a period of thirty-seven years prior to his death he was in office as a justice of the peace.
