General Notes: Husband - Thomas McNair

---

He emigrated [from Ireland?] to America about the year 1762, and took up land in Hanover township [Lancaster (later Dauphin)? County, Pennsylvania]. From some documents in possession of his descendants he it was learned that he left brothers, William and Robert, in Ireland. A certificate of character and church membership, signed by Benjamin Holmes and dated Donaghmore, 20th August, 1762, states that "Thomas McNair was born and educated in this parish; a descendant of an ancient Protestant family, deservedly esteemed in their country, has industriously followed his business, and always maintained an unexceptional moral character, and was admitted to church privileges with us." He was a soldier of the Revolution and a leading man in Hanover for half a century.
