General Notes: Husband - John LeFevre

---

He came to Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in 1806, on a visit to his brother Jacob. He then purchased land there of Conrad Cole, and made that section his home. He had been educated by an Irish schoolmaster, and had acquired somewhat of an Irish brogue. He could also speak German. When he first desired to buy land from Mr. Cole, that gentleman hesitated about selling the land to a supposed Irishman, but finally yielded to the persuasions of Mr. Lefever, which were expressed in the German language. The land he purchased consisted of two hundred and thirty acres. He lived on this farm until his death, and was the first man buried in Denny Cemetery. He returned to Lancaster County in 1806, and there married. At the time of the War of 1812 he shouldered his bear gun, walked to Erie and enlisted.
