General Notes: Husband - William McLaren

---

His father was born in Ireland and he was one of the first settlers at New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, his residence standing about where the Diamond was later situated. He died when his son, William, was six years old.

He was a natural-born mechanic and, although he never served an apprenticeship, he made brick that went into the construction of many houses in New Castle, contracted and built a number of the schoolhouses in Shenango Township and built the house his son, Uriah C., occupied. When he came to his farm it was heavily timbered, but he cleared it and put it under cultivation. He was a man who was just and honest and, while he required the men whom he constantly employed to serve him well, he paid accordingly. He served in many township offices, being elected to these on the Republican ticket.

He and his wife had nine children; five reached mature years.
