General Notes: Husband - David McKeehen


He was born near Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The family removed to Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood and learned the blacksmith's trade after his father's death, which occupation he followed for a number of years. Subsequently he was employed on the construction of the State canal until its completion, working as a stone mason on the locks, and then again followed blacksmithing. Coming to Clearfield County, in 1837, he purchased a tract of land from the Shoemaker survey, where he developed a farm and engaged in agricultural pursuits until called to his final rest. On the old homestead (which was later owned by his sons), he built a shop and worked at his trade, and also engaged in merchandising for twenty-eight years. In his business ventures he met with success, became the owner of large and valuable tracts of timber and coal lands, and was an extensive dealer in live stock of all kinds. Although he took a deep interest in public affairs as a stanch supporter of the Democratic party, he never aspired to office, only accepting a few local positions.


General Notes: Wife - Mary A. McCoy


Her ancestors were of Irish origin and early settlers of Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
