General Notes: Husband - Michael Gongaware

---

In early life he came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and settled on a farm near Harrolds church. This farm was later owned by his grandson, Joseph Gongaware.
He was a clock-maker by trade, and brought with him to Westmoreland County an old clock of his own making, which was still a splendid time-piece in 1890 and was in the possession of his grandson, Joseph Gongaware.
