Biographical notes:

In 1824, James Magee and George Taber purchased the southern branch of the saddlery firm of Peter Dickson and Company and thereafter, until Magee's retirement in 1847, maintained a profitable trade through the port of New Orleans. James Magee, after retiring from Magee, Tabor, and Company, became an incorportor and director of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Through most of his life, Horace Magee's principal energies were devoted to the organization and management of coal, iron, and urban transportation systems. Magee was also Founder of Jeanette, PA, a company town near Pittsburgh.
