General Notes: Husband - William McLain
He was born in Chartiers township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and was reared to manhood there. He was a great lover of books, and, although he had no school facilities (the death of his father imposing on him hard work on the farm from early boyhood), yet, by close application to study, he overcame what appeared to many insurmountable difficulties. At the age of nineteen he commenced teaching, continuing in same for thirty years, and proving himself at once an apt scholar and skillful teacher, besides leaving an impress on his scholars not readily forgotten.
He remained in Chartiers township until 1817, when he removed to Cross Creek township, then in 1830 purchased a farm in Buffalo township, on which he made his home until 1866, in which year he removed to Claysville, where he died, at the patriarchal age of ninety-three years.
In politics he was a Democrat until 1828, when he became a Whig, remaining so until 1850, and then voted the Free-soil ticket until 1860, after which he was a stanch Republican until the day of his death. For many years he was a justice of the peace. He and his family were adherents of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member of the Session for forty years.
