General Notes: Husband - Mark McQuiston


He was born in Franklin Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and was there reared to maturity. He followed farming in that county until 1851, in which year he came to Wayne Township, Lawrence County, and purchased a tract of 100 acres of land from Henry Chew, located near Slippery Rock. He and his wife lived on that farm until their deaths. He also owned an additional 175 acres, a part of the Aiken place.

From Beaver County, Pennsylvania, he came to Lawrence County at an early date and purchased 275 acres in Wayne Township. He erected first a log cabin and later a log house, and during his lifetime cleared much of the land. He always engaged in farming and was one of the most prosperous and successful men of the township. He was a Democrat in politics. In religious attachment he and his wife were members of the Harmony Baptist Church.
