General Notes: Husband - William Bovard
He was born in Fairview township, Butler County, PA, and grew to manhood in his native township. In 1834 purchased 125 acres in Slippery Rock township, and resided there until 1851, in which year he retired from active labor, and lived with his son, James J., the balance of his life. Politically, he was a Democrat. He was one of the early members of Harmony United Presbyterian church, and when the Centreville society was organized he united with that body, and gave liberally towards the erection of the church building.
