General Notes: Husband - Andrew McDonald

---

He and his wife came to America from Scotland and settled in the Shenandoah Valley, in Virginia, securing 400 acres of land. During his period of residence there, he was a small slave holder. Later, as his family increased, he decided to provide different surroundings for them and in 1799 he sold his Virginia estate and in 1800 bought 200 acres of land in Washington County, Pennsylvania, on which he settled. He followed farming and stock raising and also operated a distillery, as was the very general custom at that time, and was considered one of the prominent and substantial men of his day. Both he and wife lived to be about seventy-five years of age.
