General Notes: Husband - Matthew McKinney

---

He was born in Scotland and came to eastern Pennsylvania as a grown man, and about 1777 crossed the mountains to western Pennsylvania, locating on government land which he patented. His farm of three hundred acres was then virgin forest, located in what is now Forward township, Allegheny County. While clearing his land, he lived in a log house built by his own hands, and for his stock built a log barn, both standing as monuments of his untiring energy for many years.
He was a Presbyterian in religion, and of that sturdy Scotch blood that made their lives conform to the strict creed they so strongly believed to be the correct rule of life.

General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Lord

She died in 1778. [HAC 1889 ii, 493] But this can't be correct if other information in the same source is right. Could this be the year of their marriage?
