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.

He emigrated from the north of Germany in 1728, and settled in what is now Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. [BDHRB, 647]
