Land in family ties to Jones & Laughlin plant site
I McDonald Sutton of Smithfield Street visited Aliquippa to view land at Woodlawn once owned by his great great grandfather John McDonald. The land, now site of Jones & Laughlin plants, was in the family for nearly two centuries before most was sold four years ago for factory development. John McDonald, who came from Scotland, started the family claim, and Rev Andrew McDonald, his son, was the first Presbyterian minister in the area.
