General Notes: Husband - John McKay

---

He became a farmer and served in the War of 1812. In early life he came to western Pennsylvania with his parents, who settled first in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and later came to Erie County, locating at Waterford. He purchased 100 acres of woodland, just one mile south of Waterford on the old Pittsburgh and Erie Turnpike Road (known later as the Oliver farm); built a log cabin, cleared up his farm and later built a frame house. Here he spent the remainder of his life. He is buried in the New Cemetery at Waterford Church.
