General Notes: Husband - William Gealey

---

He was a pioneer farmer in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where he was ruling elder in the United Presbyterian church for many years.

He and his wife raised a large family but several of their children died in the middle twenties.

He was brought to Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, in boyhood. As a youth he aided his father in the clearing of his land in that locality, and afterward inherited a section thereof. In 1849 he effected a trade with a son-in-law, James Nelson, by which, in exchange for his share of the homestead property, he became owner of a farm about three-quarters of a mile away, upon which he resided until his death. He was a Republican in political belief, and with his wife belonged to the United Presbyterian church (formerly Covenanters). He saw active service in the War of 1812, going to the front early in the conflict.
