General Notes: Husband - Rev. William McKennan

---

He came to America about the year 1730, and died in Delaware, where he had settled.

He immigrated to America from the North of Ireland about the middle of the 1700s. For a period of fifty-four years, from December, 1755, he was pastor of the White Clay Creek and the Red Clay Creek Presbyterian churches, near Wilmington, Delaware, and during thirty-four years of this time he was also pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington.

The ancestor of the McKennan family, of Washington, Pennsylvania, he came to America about 1750. He was born of Scotch lineage in the north of Ireland, in 1719. He was licensed by the Newcastle Presbytery before May, 1752, and was sent by the Synod of Philadelphia to supply North and South Mountains, Timber Grove, North River and Cook's Creek, and at John Hinson's in Virginia. He spent seven or eight months in the south. Before May, 1756, he was settled at Wilmington and Red Clay. He resigned the charge of the First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington in 1794, but continued at Red Clay until his death. He was venerated for his years and his piety. He died at Red Clay, Pennsylvania [sic], in 1809, and is buried in the Red Clay Creek burying ground.
