General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Mackall


He was a native of northern Ireland, who, at the age of twenty-one years, was commissioned a captain in the Colonial Army, and served throughout the major part of the War of Independence. He came to Georgetown, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1802, and was there engaged in farming. [BOBBC, 217]

He was a native of Carroll County, Maryland, although in later life he lived in Virginia, supervising the cultivation of a farm belonging to a half-sister. In 1802 he journeyed to Georgetown, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and passed the summer at the Dawson home, but was evidently little pleased with the locality, for he returned to Virginia and made no effort to transfer his residence to Pennsylvania.
He served in the Revolutionary War. [GPHBC, 549]
