General Notes: Husband - Col. James McDonald
He received his education at a subscription school of the vicinity. His father gave him part of his Washington county, Pennsylvania, lands-which were then a wilderness, and which he improved. He was the owner at the time of his death of a large farm of 1,000 acres.
In his political affiliations he was originally a Whig, then, on the organization of the party, became a Republican, and was active in the interests of the cause, but no office seeker. At the beginning of the Rebellion of 1861, he was heard to utter these words: "This war will never be ended until every slave is free." He was noted through life for the possession of a strong, independent will, but was always found a ready and kind sympathizer for the afflicted and distressed. He was a regular attendant and liberal supporter of Raccoon Presbyterian Church, in which he was raised, and which his father aided in first organizing.
