Garvey Family Genealogy Forum
  
I am researching Bartholomew Garvey and Eleanor Williams who married on Mar 15, 1776 at Old St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia, PA. Bartholomew served many times in the Revolution. He and his wife had land in Westmoreland Co. in 1783. They had the following children: Mary b. Mar 14, 1776 d. 1829; Catherine (Morrison) b. Jun 1780 d. 1870, Westmoreland Co.; John b. 1784/86 d. 1829; Thomas S. b. Feb 14, 1788 d. Jan 1877 Butler Co., PA. There is a DAR abstract which states that there was another daughter, Ann Garvey. I have seen court documents claiming this, but I do not have any proof of this otherwise. Bartholomew died when transporting a wagon of bacon to the garrison near Reed's Station or Chambers Blockhouse in Washington Twp, Westmoreland Co., PA. He was killed and scalped by Indians (May 24, 1792). Eleanor died in 1851. Anyone who has any information on this family or their descendants, please contact me at . I would be happy to share.
