General Notes: Husband - George Parr

---

He and his family crossed the Atlantic to the New World in 1865 [or 1867], landing in New York after a voyage of eleven weeks. After a short time spent in that metropolis they took up their residence at the Soda Works near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they remained for a year, and then removed to Covode, Indiana County. After fourteen years spent at that place they took up their residence at Irwin Station, Westmoreland County, where he died and was buried. He was a wagon maker by trade. In political faith he was a Democrat, and in religious belief a Catholic.

No source states specifically that he was married twice, but various sources give such differing information that the compiler of this website believes there must have been two.
