General Notes: Husband - John Cavett

---

He was a miller, the first settler at the place later known as Cavettsville, but originally Cavett's Mill, and was of the third generation of Cavetts born in America. John Cavett removed from Dauphin County to western Pennsylvania in 1770 and purchased from Ephraim Blaine, in 1771, a large tract of lands embracing what was later known as the Cavetts' Mill tract and the Stewart Station property, of which John Yearl was the original warrantee. John Cavett divided this land between his sons, John and James, the latter taking the Stewart Station tract which he afterwards exchanged with his brother-in-law, John Stewart, for a mill site, part of the Stewart homestead in Elizabeth township, Allegheny County.
