General Notes: Husband - Joseph Detar

Clarion Co, PA - a farmer

He was a lineal descendant of the Rev. Jacob DeTar (de La Tour), a resident of Tours, France, who, when the Edict of Nantes was revoked, fled from his native land and sought a refuge in Pennsylvania, bringing with him his Bible, which became an heirloom among his descendants.
The early home of the Detars (DeTars) in western Pennsylvania was Westmoreland County, from whence branches went out to various parts of the United States, one of which found its way to Fryburg, Clarion County.
