General Notes: Husband - Christopher McMichael

---

He was one of many Scotch-Irishmen who emigrated from the north of Ireland to America prior to the beginning of the struggle for American independence. He joined the Continental army. After experiencing various vicissitudes, he was taken prisoner at the battle of Brandywine, and held as such until peace was declared. Afterward, having become an experienced and successful scout, he performed good service on the frontier, while the Indians were yet war-like and troublesome in the wild regions west of the Alleghanies.
