General Notes: Husband - Alexander McCready

---

He learned and followed the shoemaker's trade. In 1786 he sailed for America, and six months after his arrival, after making the necessary arrange­ments, he sent for his wife. While Mrs. McCready was on the ocean her eldest daughter were born. Soon after the family was united in America they came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, locat­ing in Burgettstown, where Alexander worked at his trade and other employment. He assisted in digging the race for the old mill which stood southeast of Burgettstown, known as “McFarland's Mill,” and for doing his work received seventy-five acres of land in Smith township. He removed to this farm, and passed the remaining days of his life in agricultural pursuits. He was a Whig in politics.
