General Notes: Husband - Rev. Alexander Donnan

---

He was born in Scotland, and entered the University of Glasgow when but seventeen years of age, being a youth of remarkable precocity. He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Kilmarnock, in 1800. In the spring of 1818 he emigrated with his family to America and at once connected himself with the Associate Church of North America. In January, 1820, he received and accepted calls from what was then the Associate, later the United Presbyterian congregation of Mount Pleasant and Burgettstown and located in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Each of the aforesaid congregations received one-half of his pastoral labors until 1840, when he resigned the pastoral care of Burgettstown. The congregation at Mount Pleasant enjoyed then his undivided attention from 1840, until 1852, when, on account of the infirmities of age, he resigned that charge also. He lived some seven years longer, continuing his residence within the bounds of the Mount Pleasant congregation. His death occurred in the eighty-fifth year of his age and the fifty-ninth of his ministry.
