General Notes: Husband - Jacob McVey


He first settled on 600 acres of land near Bay View, Cecil County, Maryland. This tract of land, at the time of the Revolutionary war, was the finest timber land in the county. He built up extensive saw mills, cut the timber into shipstuff, bought a tract of land at the head of the bay for wharfage, and shipped a vast amount of lumber to Baltimore for the purpose of shipbuilding. He, in addition, carried on storekeeping.

He had seven brothers; six of them went west about the year 1770.
