General Notes: Husband - William Whan


He was reared on a farm in Big Beaver township, Beaver (later Lawrence) County, Pennsylvania, his educational opportunities being somewhat limited. He was possessed of sound sense, and attended to his own affairs with success and no ostentation. He sought no public distinction, but was called upon by his fellow-citizens in Darlington township, irrespective of party, to serve them for thirty successive years as justice of the peace. Politically his affiliations were with the Democratic party.
Immediately after marriage he and his wife settled on a farm in Darlington township, Beaver County, which he had purchased, and there remained until his death. Both were life-long members of the United Presbyterian church.


General Notes: Wife - Margaret Marshall


After the death of her husband, she resided with her daughter at East Palestine, Ohio.
