General Notes: Husband - Jacob Negley


He was a farmer, and founder of the East Liberty Presbyterian Church.

He laid out the town of East Liberty, Pennsylvania, where he owned over a thousand acres of land, and in 1820 built the first steam grist-mill operated in western Pennsylvania.

He was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, coming with his parents to East Liberty in 1778, when but twelve years of age. His descendants, to a greater extent than any other branch of Alexander Negley's family, remained in Pittsburgh, where many of them proved themselves important factors, especially in the molding of the religious and educational life of the city. His great landed interests, to which were added his wife's large real estate holdings, together with superior judgment and acumen, made him a recognized power of his day in this vicinity, where, in 1816, he built the first steam flouring mill west of the Allegheny mountains. His appreciation of the future importance of Pittsburgh is shown by the fact that he laid out Penn avenue one hundred feet wide as far as it passed through his own and his wife's domains, which became the business center of East Liberty. He endeavored to have that width continue into the city, but was unable to convince the other property holders of the wisdom of his proposition.

He was buried in the churchyard of the United Evangelical Protestant church. His remains were later removed, and placed beside those of his wife and children in the Negley lot in the Allegheny cemetery.
