General Notes: Husband - Charles Maclay

---

He and his brother, John, emigrated to Pennsylvania together, and became the ancestors of the Maclays of the United States.

He sailed from Ireland for Pennsylvania, May 30, 1734, with his wife and new-born babe, and his brother John. Soon after his arrival he settled in New Garden township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, but remained there only a few years. About 1742 he came to what is now Lurgan township, Franklin County. He took up a tract of land on the north side of the Conedoguinet at the bend of the creek, where Maclay's Mill later stood. He lived only eleven years after his settlement on the Conedoguinet, but he left behind him a family eminent in the affairs of state and nation.

It is stated that Owen Maclay, son of Charles Maclay, Baron Fingal (by his first wife), returning from France, desired to take Charles (his nephew), to that country and educate him, and let him know what estates belonged to him; in case of a revolution he could lay claim to estates and title. The father of Charles would not consent without a guarantee that his son would be brought up in the Protestant faith. To this Owen would not accede, returned to France and dying, left estates, etc., to strangers.
