Description
Photo of Margaret McArthur Weir (1808-1895). She was the mother of William Weir (the supposed first white child born in St. Marys) but was also a lace maker who at one time lived in the Tracy House (St. Marys Museum).

Here she is pictured wearing a bonnet around her hair done up at her chin. She is looking off to the side very solemnly.
Notes
Condition: Fair. Some spotting that distorts image; yellowed and dirty but in pretty good shape for age.
