General Notes: Husband - Hugh O'Donnell


He received a good education in Pittsburgh, working on the farm during the summers. When a young man he helped to build the Pennsylvania canal from Pittsburg to Johnstown, and also assisted in the construction of the dam, the breaking of which destroyed the latter city. He worked on the old portage road, the first road built in the county, until he became by inheritance the owner of his father's farm, on which thereafter he made his home. He served as teamster in the army during the war with the Creek Indians, and in politics was a Jackson Democrat. He was a member of the Roman Catholic church.
