1795, and died April 21, 1847. They purchased a farm near London,

attached a saw mill, and did a flourishing business for some 25
years until 1850. His mill was located along the Slippery Rock
Creek by the bridge near the present Cooper gravel washing plant.
Tradition says that the foundation of the present bridge was part
of the old mill. Mr. McBride was a prominent man in the township
in educational matters and in business enterprises, and filled
the office of Justice of the Peace for several terms. Kept store at
Harlansburg for several years during the latter part of his life.
Ordained Elder September 26, 1839, and served for 39 years. He
died October 17, 1878, leaving a family of nine children. David
