General Notes: Husband - William McKinney
About the year 1822 this pioneer emigrated to America from County Derry, Ireland, and for a time resided in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, whence he removed to Braddock, and purchased 200 acres and its allowances, originally the Frazier property, bounded by the Monongahela river and Turtle creek, a spot rendered historic as having been the retreat of Gens. Washington and Braddock after the defeat of the latter.
He came to America from Ireland, bringing his family, about 1820. They first settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for a short time. Then removing to Braddock (then called Braddock's Field), with his wife and five children, two sons and three daughters, he purchased a farm, then called Frazier's field.
He was a wealthy farmer. He died at the age of ninety-six years, leaving his large landed estate to his two sons. He was a strict observer of the faith of the United Presbyterian denomination.
