Hi Jenn, My g. grandfather was Isaac Gearhart, whose second wife was Maria Richner, dau. of Elias Richner and Elizabeth Eminhouser, b. Nov. 1853, Penn Twp., Clearfield Co. My Gearhart line came from the area of Indiana, Armstrong and Jefferson Cos. Later, my grandfather, John Gearhart, and wife and children settled in Curwensville. Does any of this sound familiar, at all, to you. I hope so!
