General Notes: Husband - Peter Lovell


He came from Centre County, Pennsylvania, and settled in Rockland Township, Venango County, in 1819. His original location was on the farm that included the present site of Barr's Corners.
"A curious incident is related concerning him and John Watt. Each seems to have experienced a sudden and unaccountable desire to possess the farm of the other, and when their mutual feelings in this matter had been expressed, a trade was quickly arranged. The exchange was a nine days' wonder, and the sensation was agreeably varied when it transpired that for some unexplained reason the contracting parties had decided to remain where they were." [CAB, 813]
