She was born in the Celina Tenn area or Burkesville,Ky area. I have his father as Johann Valentine Gearhart who is buried in Celina Tenn. John Packwood went to Greene Co., Ill first and sometime in the 1830's came to Missouri. A goodly number of Cumberland Co.,Ky families came to Lewis co before 1830 as I recall.
