General Notes: Husband - Thomas Garvin

---

He came to Muddy Creek Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, from Westmoreland County, in the year 1822. His father was killed by the Indians in 1795. The circumstances were as follows: He was carrying provisions from what is now Allegheny County to his family who were at the block-house near Greensburg, Westmoreland County. While driving his team quietly along about half way between his starting point and his destination, several of the natives rushed out of a clump of bushes where
they had been lying in ambush, and shot him down without a moment's warning. Having no home after his father's sad death, he went to Allegheny County, where he worked for some time as a ship carpenter near Pittsburgh. He purchased a farm in Muddy Creek township from Jacob Philips.
He and his wife had eight children were born to them, but only four of the family were living in 1883 - three in various parts of Butler County, and one in Ohio.

He resided one mile west of Prospect on a farm purchased from the heirs of Margaret Ferguson, widow of Hugh Ferguson.
