General Notes: Husband - John McCalmont
In 1808 he and his wife crossed the mountains on horseback with their only child James. They located about one mile west of Hickory, in Mt. Pleasant township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he followed the blacksmith's trade, also being a successful farmer, and rapidly accumulated property. At the age of sixty years he retired from active work. He was a perfect type of the hospitable, generous-hearted, social pioneer, always glad to welcome friends at any time. He was a member of the Hickory U. P. church. In politics he was a Whig originally, and later a Republican.
He was of the fearless and sturdy Scottish race, and possessing an adventurous spirit, decided to seek his fortune in the New World. In early manhood he came to America, following the blacksmith's trade, during the early part of his life in York County, Pennsylvania, afterward settling on a farm in Mt. Pleasant township, Washington County. [CBRWC, 1223]
He was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. [CBRWC, 1285]
He died in October, 1861. [CBRWC, 1286]
