General Notes: Husband - Robert McBurney

---

He came to East Liberty, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, from Maryland, in 1798 to visit Robert Boyd, his brother-in-law. He was a blacksmith and on the lookout for a location. He was strongly urged by Boyd and the neighboring farmers to settle in East Liberty, and as an inducement they offered to fit him up a shop. He accepted their offer, and with his bride soon afterward came permanently to East Liberty. His first shop was in an old building that had been previously occupied as a smithy, but for some time had been abandoned. There were few houses in the village then, but the farmers were coming in and he had plenty of work. He prospered, was justice of the peace, and later engaged in a mercantile business, but also retained his smithy until his death.
