General Notes: Husband - James Laughlin, Sr.

---

He was a farmer in Ireland.

He was a Scotch-Irishman, who was a well-to-do farmer near Belfast, Ireland, and after his wife died he was persuaded to emigrate to America, where his son Alexander had made himself a home. He came to Baltimore, Maryland, with his son James and two daughters, and they soon found their way to Pittsburgh. This was in 1829, and here he pursued farming on a place which he purchased in what is now East Liberty, until his death.
