>Just for interest, " The deed for the St. Mary's property was recorded in Court Nov. 14, 1853. It reveals that 'the said property located in Collins Township was originally owned by Richard Ewart, bought in trust by James and Brigid McCabe in 1849, and the sold to St. Mary's Roman Catholic congregation for church purposes for the sum of $600.'"< I wonder if this Brigit McCabe was part of the McCabe "dynasty" so prominent in the funeral business from the mid-1800s thru present day. Many of them lived in the vicinity of Lawrenceville, near St. Mary's, and they buried most of my ancestors of that era in St. Mary's. In fact, I'm told I myself have some distant link to that family, but I don't know what it is. Ray Boniker researching: McMAHON, FRANKHOUSE, OWENS, CAMPBELL, O'DONNELL, McCAFFREY in Pittsburgh
