General Notes: Husband - William McGeorge


His early boyhood was spent in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and in 1806 he came to Darlington township, Beaver County, with his father and grew to manhood on the homestead in that township. As his share of the Darlington township farm he received two hundred acres, later buying one hundred acres of land now occupied by the town of Enon, and assisted in laying out the lots. He also acquired, for three dollars an acre, four hundred and eighty acres of land in Belmont County, Ohio, which was sold by his heirs, and was later valued at two hundred dollars an acre, rich oil wells having been struck on the property. In his manhood he adhered to the religion of his youth, the Reformed Presbyterian, and was active in church work. In the latter years of his life he became an extensive sheep raiser, owned large flocks, and was successful in that occupation, which his grandfather had followed in Scotland many years before.
