General Notes: Husband - Henry Chalfant


At an early period two brothers left France and came to eastern Pennsylvania, where they settled and reared families. Henry Chalfant, a son of one of these brothers, came with his brother to Allegheny County, in 1827, and settled in Turtle Creek, where he purchased a few acres. [HAC 1889 ii, 402]

He and his wife settled at Turtle Creek, in the county of Allegheny, in Pennsylvania, about 1827, and there founded the Pittsburgh branch of this family. He conducted a general store and kept the postoffice and relay station for the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia stage coach line which traversed the old Greensburg Turnpike. About 1840 he moved to the hills above Turtle Creek on the Greensburg Turnpike and settled on a farm of several hundred acres about half way between Wilkinsburg and Turtle Creek, on the said turnpike, where he resided until his death, and where also his widow lived with her son, Henry Richard, and his family until her death.
