General Notes: Husband - William McGinnis

---

He was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and when still a lad he served an apprenticeship at the trade of wagon-making with George Hoffman. Feeling that that line of work was not suited to him, and having by his own efforts secured a good education, he began teaching school-a calling in which he was very successful. He married and located at Sharon, Mercer County, where he embarked in mercantile pursuits. Later on he removed to Stevenson's Mills, Allegheny County, where he continued in business. In 1843, Mr. McGinnis went to Hickory, Washington County, and resided there several years, conducting a large store, and dealing heavily in wool and other commodities. In 1848, he closed out his business interests, and moved to North Beaver township, Lawrence County, buying a farm and living the life of a retired farmer until his decease. His son, William S. McGinnis, later resided on this farm.
