General Notes: Husband - John M. Eakin, Sr.

---

In 1837 he immigrated to Pennsylvania, and after a voyage of ten weeks and four days in the ship “Harmony,” landed with his family at Philadelphia, August 6, of that year. He came westward to Venango County, PA, and settled in Irwin township, where he engaged in teaching school and farming, and resided there until his death. He was a life-long member of the Presbyterian church.

The cemetery book gives his dates as 1777-1848.
