General Notes: Husband - Alexander Macbeth

---

He was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and was, in his early manhood, colonel of a body of Pennsylvania troops. In 1806 he visited Ohio, purchasing property in Champaign County, where he was one of the pioneers. He built the first brick house in the county, and took across the mountains the first carriage with springs. That he occupied a high place in the esteem and confidence of his neighbors is proved by the fact that he was twice elected to represent them in the Ohio legislature, serving his first term when that body convened at Chillicothe, and his second when it met in Zanesville.

He was the first man to take a large cargo of grain and whiskey down the Auglaize and Maumee rivers to Black Rock, near Buffalo, where he disposed of it, reloading his boat with salt. On the return trip he contracted a disease that proved fatal, and the salt did not reach its destination until the following winter, when its sale brought from seventeen to eighteen dollars a barrel.
