General Notes: Husband - Nathan McPherson


Early in life he was brought from his home in his native land, Scotland, to New Jersey. This was, in all probability, just subsequent to the Revolutionary War, and in New Jersey Nathan grew to manhood, married, and made his home for a short time before moving to Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He purchased land on a rise of ground near Leetsdale, which he and his sons cleared. He lived on his farm until his death, several years after that of his wife. During this period he had become the owner of large tracts of land in that neighborhood, and was counted one of the most prosperous men of the locality.
