General Notes: Husband - John McDonald
He was born at McGuires Bridge, county Fermanagh, Ireland, and came to America in 1773. [GPHBC, 883]
He emigrated to America from Scotland, and came to this territory [Washington County, Pennsylvania] about 1780. He was living here when the county was organized in 1781. He took up in different warrants sixteen hundred acres of land, which in due course of time were patented. Upon the division of Washington County in 1788 and 1789, a part of these lands were thrown in Allegheny County. In addition to this large body of land he owned a tract of four hundred acres in what is now Union township, eight hundred acres in West Virginia, and two thousand acres in Allegheny County. He lived upon the home tract in Robinson township till his death. [HWC 1882, 902]
He was born in eastern Pennsylvania, where he received his educational training and grew to manhood. [CBRWC, 124]
He passed the latter part of his life in improving the home farm, and he cleared the meadow on which an Indian trading post was erected. He was a Federalist in politics, and in religious connection was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Candor.
He emigrated to America in 1773, and purchased a tract of land called Mt. Pleasant, on Robinson's run, now included in Robinson and Mt. Pleasant townships, Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1775 he settled on the Mt. Pleasant property, and afterward bought other lands adjoining Mt. Pleasant, called Blackberry Plain, Gooseberry Thicket, Highlands and Primrose Hill. He also bought large tracts in Allegheny and Beaver counties, and in West Virginia. All these lands were well located and became very valuable.
He [MacDonald] was a member of a family of Scotch origin, was born in the north of Ireland, and is found in the colonies in 1773, when he settled on Robinson's Run, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Of him it is said that he became the possessor of valuable property, wide in extent, cultivated by a large number of slaves, his first home being near the Virginia line. He was a Federalist in politics, and a member of the Presbyterian church at Candor. [GPHBC, 1044]
