General Notes: Husband - Alexander Jackson McCurdy

---

In an open boat, during the days of religious persecution in Scotland, were five brothers escaping by a dangerous voyage from Galloway to the coast of Down, Ireland. These men were named McCurdy, and from one of them Joseph A. McCurdy is descended. The Mayflower, which crossed the Atlantic in 1620, contained one of his paternal ancestors and two of his maternal ancestors.

He was a farmer in Derry township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, was for some time in the employ of the Pennsylvania canal, and afterwards engaged in building the Pennsylvania railroad. He was an active republican.
