General Notes: Husband - John Gearhart


He married and they moved to Clearfield County in 1820, and he became the owner of a tract of land there which he cleared and cultivated. In politics he was a Democrat, and in religion a devout Methodist. [CBRCP-CCJC, 652]

In 1824 he brought his family from Centre County, Pennsylvania, to Decatur township, Clearfield County.


General Notes: Wife - Lydia Shivery


She was born in 1792. At the time of her death she lacked only one month and nine days of her ninetieth birthday. [CBRCP-CCJC, 652] Hence, she must have died about 1882, not the year 1885, as given by the same source.
