General Notes: Husband - Maj. James Fagundus Mackey

---

He came to Franklin with his parents in 1831, and nine years later removed to Clarion, PA. At the outbreak of the civil war he recruited Company H, One Hundred and Third Pennsylvania Volunteers, and entered the service as its captain. He participated in McClellan's campaign and in the expedition into North Carolina; leading his regiment at the battle of Kingston. The entire bri­gade to which he was attached was captured at Plymouth, North Carolina, April 20, 1864; for nearly a year he was confined at Andersonville, and subsequently at Macon, Savannah, Charleston, and Columbia. He was commissioned major of his regiment, November 1, 1863, and subsequently lieutenant colonel, but being imprisoned at Andersonville at the time the latter commission was granted it never reached him. He was mustered out of service March 14, 1865, having sustained throughout his military career the reputation of a brave, gallant, and faithful soldier. Shortly after his return to Clarion he removed to Franklin and there engaged extensively and successfully in the business of oil producing. In 1875 he was elected treas­urer of Venango county, and discharged the duties of this office for one term with ability and fidelity. He died leaving a wife and a large family. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and an elder in the church at Franklin. [HVC 1890, 770]
