McBride - Bumpus Genealogy
The family of Sarah's father, the Martin's, were also among the early settlers. Charles Martin
came to Mercer County (to an area now part of Lawrence Co.) from Westmoreland Co. in the
1790's. He had a soldier's warrant from his Revolutionary war service for 213 acres in Wolf
Creek township. Portions of this land stayed in the family and were eventually owned by
Robert Munson McBride who purchased it from his father - in - law William Martin. The
children of Sarah Martin and Robert McBride were raised on this land.

Sarah Martin's grandparents were early also settlers in the area,
like the Armstrong's and her Great Grandfather William McNees
who was in the Revolutionary War. In the Plain Grove by Rev.
McCaslin, the McNees family is mentioned numerous times. If
you want reference pages 31-32, Jane Mcnees at the age of 13,
kept possession of the new homestead with her younger brother
while their father William returned to get the rest of the family.
My grandfather remembered his grandmother ( Sarah Martin )
telling him about how her grandmother Jane encountered
Indians during that homesteading time.

Frank M. McBride
He purchased a farm on the Scrubgrass Road about three miles east of Harlansburg,
in Lawrence County, Pa., about the year 1860. He later traded that farm to his father-in-law
for the larger ancestral lands of the Martin family. Both these lands lie along the banks of
Martin Run and north of Slippery Rock Creek. On these lands all of the children of Robert
M. and Sarah Jane Martin McBride were born and grew up.
Robert M. McBride, in addition to being a sucessful farmer, was a breeder & dealer
in horses. In earlier years he had worked as a wagon maker. No doubt this led to his invention
of the first known ball bearing constructed so it was a complete unit. It was very similar in
principle to the present New department unit Bearings, now widely used. He was granted
a patent for his invention about the year 1885. About ten years later he gave up farming
and with his younger brother, Samuel, and others, organized a company to produce the
bearings and to adapt them to & install them for various uses. One of the first applications
was in roller coaster cars operating in an amusement park at Rock Point, on the Beaver
River where it is joined by the Connoquenessing. When one considers how many uses
have been made of ball and other antifriction bearings since the time 1895 or 1896, it
would seem that the above venture could not have helped succeeding. The Hyatt Roller
Bearing, was so widely used by Henry Ford & other early manfacturers of automobiles
was developed at about the same time. As look backward in history we must conclude
that while our ancestor, Robert M. McBride, was possessed of mechanical genious &
imagination, he and those associated with him, lacked the experience to develop and
sell the idea, for the venture survived only about two years.
After this Robert McBride built up a retail milk distributing business in New Castle.
He was the first to deliver milk to the customers in bottles. Later he expanded into the
retail grocery business which he continued until his retirement at the age of 72 years.
He died in the home of his daughter, Mrs. William M. White, and his remains are
now in Plaingrove Presbyterian Cemetery along with his wife and three of his children.
In the same cemetery are the remains of his father & mother, Polly Armstrong McBride,
Alexander McBride, three of his brothers, his wife's father & mother, William & Margret
(Peggy) Marshal Martin, her grandmother, Jane McNeese Martin, her grandfather and
grandmother, Joseph and Sarah (maiden name unknown) Marshal and several of her
other relatives of the McNeese family.
Robert Munson McBride is the 7th child and son of Alexander and Mary Armstrong McBride.
Sarah Jane Martin is the 1st child and daughter of William Martin and Margaret Ann Marshall.
