MBM: Born 5Mar1831. Died about 1900. She married an expert on pigs, a Mr. McCleary, whose nickname was "The Pig King". MBM's mother knew him and used often to tell stories about him. That was years ago before we became amateur genealogists, and most of them have been forgotten. Some can be resurrected and be collected on a separate page, with the help of McCleary numerous descendants. The hospitable Fred Irving of Gretna being one of these.
