General Notes: Husband - John Giffen

---

He remained on the home farm until his marriage, and shortly afterward, about 1763, it is supposed he came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased about three hundred acres or upwards of land, located in the north-east corner of Mount Pleasant township, and there built a log cabin and started to improve his new possessions. Here he lived and followed farming for a livelihood throughout the remainder of his life time. He was a devoted Christian, and a member of the Presbyterian church.
