General Notes: Husband - Robert McKean

---

He was a merchant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a vessel owned by him and Joseph Rogers was captured by the French in 1797, making him one of the numerous claimants under the French Spoliation Claims. In 1794 similar aggressions of England upon American shipping caused a public meeting of merchants and traders to be held at Philadelphia in March, at which Stephen Girard was chairman, and Robert McKean Secretary. At another meeting, March 24th, a board of trustees for the "Algerine fund" was chosen, among whom were Thomas McKean, Thomas Mifflin, George Meade, Robert Mifflin, and Stephen Girard.
He was a member of the First City Troop, being elected April 30, 1794.

Some sources incorrectly give his date of death as June 8th.
