General Notes: Husband - James Blaine


Born of Scotch ancestry, he came with his family from the North of Ireland, in the vicinity of Londonderry, to America, prior to 1745, and settled in Toboyne township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He took up a large tract of land on the south side of the Juniata river, as did each of his sons a few years later. He became an influential man on the then frontiers of the Province, and was quite prominent in affairs during the French and Indian wars, as well as toward the close of his life in the struggle for independence. He died at his residence in Toboyne township, well advanced in years, leaving a wife and nine children.
