General Notes: Husband - Henry Pratt McKean

---

He was educated at private schools and the University of Pennsylvania, leaving the University before completing his course to take a position in the counting house of his grandfather, Henry Pratt, then one of the best known and most successful shipping merchants of Philadelphia. He remained in the employ of his grandfather for several years, acquiring valuable experience in business matters that was of great assistance to him in his later business career. At the death of his grandfather, Henry Pratt, in 1838, he inherited an ample fortune. He had previously engaged in business for himself in the South American and Mexican trade, in which he had been quite successful. He later associated himself with his brothers-in-law, Adolph E. and Charles Louis Borie, and they carried on a large business. He gradually withdrew from the foreign trade, and devoted his energies and wealth to local enterprises, doing much for the development of business interests, and railroad facilities of his native city. In 1849 he purchased a large tract of land on what was then the northwest limits of the city, near Chestnut Hill, and established his country seat at "Fernhill" a superb country home, commanding a fine view of Philadelphia, the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers and portions of New Jersey. Here he and his talented wife extended a wide hospitality.
