General Notes: Husband - Andrew Gregg McLanahan


He was reared to the life of a farmer on the old family homestead in Antrim Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and followed that occupation all his life, buying his own homestead of 350 acres, one mile and a quarter west of Greencastle, in about 1837, moving onto it in 1838. This place he sold to the Mormons and they occupied it for eighteen months, but on their leaving the country he was obliged to buy it back, through the sheriff, in 1846, and lived there afterward. He also owned beside, a half interest of his father's old homestead and twenty acres in Antrim Township.
Although not a politician in any sense, he had decided convictions in politics, but, singular to state, never in his life asked a man to vote any ticket, going on the principle that a man's own conscience and convictions ought to settle that subject without dictation.
