Going backwards, as best as I can determine, the GARVIN males in my family are: James Keeling Garvin b. 1882 grandfather m. Estelle Spring 1902 James Richard b. 10/19/1848 g-g-gfather m. Mary Musselman Known children to Mary: David, James Keeling Died: 6/27/1910 perhaps buried in Plains UP Church Cemetery? Served in Civil War 2-E, 78-I. Was married twice; seeking info on first wife, Mary and/or info on 2nd wife. There is also a daughter, Nina, but not sure if she is to first or second wife. William b.ca. 1826 g-g-g-gfather m. Mary Anne Keeling (b.England). Children: James Richard, John W., Isabella, Albert. Find him and family in 1860 census, Jackson Twp. James W. Garvin (b.ca.1796?) g-g-g-g-gfather. Find a Jas. W. married to Isabella in 1860 census. Suspect she is 2nd wife and Nancy may have been first and mother of William (above). 1870 census shows a Jas. W. age 74 b. VA & Isabella in Cranberry Twp. Also have info sent to me from a kind soul (Paula G./Portersville PA) that kind of leads me to some of my conclusions so far. Am especially interested if James might possibly be the son of early settler, Benjamin who came from Rockingham VA in early 1800's with wife and ten children, one of whom was named James. I'm finding just enough in Cranberry & Butler Co. history and some info from Plains Cemetery records to be tantalizing but not to make the connections. Hope to be in beautiful Butler County this fall to do some research on my own. Pat Harris Boise _________________________________________________________________ Make every IM count.
