General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Garvin

---

He and his wife came to Cranberry township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, with their family of ten children.
He kept a hotel in 1800\emdash then the only public house between Pittsburgh and Franklin. The Cornplanter and other Indian bands made this hotel their stopping place on their way to and from Erie. Their business principally was running rafts on the Allegheny, and their demeanor and manner was quiet, when not under the influence of "fire-water." His son David took charge of this hotel in 1811.

He came to Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1800, and located on a tract of 400 acres of government land in what is now Cranberry township. They were among the first settlers, and with the fortitude of the pioneers set about clearing and improving their purchase. He opened a tavern at his farm soon after settlement, and conducted it for several years. He and his wife passed the remainder of their days in Cranberry township.
