General Notes: Husband - Robert McCartney
In 1823 his parents moved to Findlay township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and settled on a farm near Hebron. At that time Robert was but nine years old, and at sixteen he began to learn wagon-making. Soon after completing his trade he and a cousin went to Philadelphia, walking to Lancaster, to which point the railroad was completed, and they finished their journey by rail. On their return trip they stopped at Robert's uncle's, in Huntingdon County, where Robert followed his trade a short time. He then worked at Frankfort, Beaver County, two years, during which time his father purchased a farm near Stevenson Mills, Moon township, and there Robert opened his first shop in a log building. Three years later he built a shop and residence at Scottsville, Beaver County. April 10, 1845, he sold out and purchased a farm in Findlay township, Allegheny County, where he built a log cabin, and worked at his trade until 1858. Thereafter he was engaged in farming.
He owned 100 acres of land in Findlay township and 212 acres in Independence and Hopewell townships, Beaver County. On his farm in Hopewell there were eight large oil-wells. He also owned a residence and four lots at Coraopolis and two residences and store-building on Beaver street, Sewickley, Pennsylvania.
He had seven children with his first wife, but the source lists only six.
