General Notes: Husband - George Gourley
He was born in Ireland about 1772. On coming to America, he located in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, where he resided seven years; then he went to Armstrong County, where his death occurred when he was eighty years of age. His wife survived him three years.
He and his wife were natives of Ireland and sailed from that country about 1817. They landed at Nova Scotia, where they remained one year. They came to the United States in 1818 and settled in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. They remained there about twelve years and moved to West Mahoning township, Indiana County, in 1830, where they resided during the remainder of their days. They lived to be quite old, and both died the same week in 1853. They had eleven children, and all lived to grow up except one. Mr. Gourley and four of his sons were blacksmiths.
He and his wife came to America from Ireland in 1816, and first located in Nova Scotia. They came to Pennsylvania, settling near Sinking Valley, Blair County, where Mr. Gourley followed his trade, that of blacksmith, for a time. Later he bought a farm in Indiana County, where he passed the remainder of his life. He was a sincere member of the Presbyterian Church, and used to go eight miles through the woods on horseback to attend services.
