*From the Entry for Great-Grandson Peter Gearhart in the Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania: including the counties of Centre, Clearfield, Jefferson and Clarion, 1898, JH Beers, page 817

"Mr. Gearhart is of German descent, and his ancestors were early settlers in Pennsylvania. John Gearhart, great-grandfather of our subject, emigrated from Germany about the middle of the seventeenth century, and settled at Baegler Run, Penn. He married a Miss Gray, and to this union were born ten children: Nanly, Jacob S. , John, Adam, Christ, Lias, Peter, Eve Betsey, Susan Nancy and Catherine. Grand- father Jacob S. Gearhart, who was born in Pennsylvania, became one of the pioneers of Decatur township, Clearfield county, clearing a farm where he made his home until his death, which occurred in 1865; his wife. Mary (Flegal), died in 1885."
