1 1883 History of Butler County PA, by Waterman, p. 363 extract:
Daniel McDeavitt, native of Ireland, moved from Newcastle,Delaware to Greensburg; thence in 1797 to Butler, settling in Brady Twp. with his wife and 3 children. Second child, James, resided in the 2nd house buildt by Daniel McDeavitt, a hewed log structure build in 1815; James died in 1882, aged 85 yrs. The children of Daniel and Elizabeth (Sturgeon) McDeavitt were as follows: Catharine, Henry, James and John. Catherine and James both remained single. Henry married Jane McClymonds for his first wife, and Mrs. Rebecca Bell for his second. Six children were born of the first wife, and one of the second. All are now living except one. John married Jane St. Clair, and died while absent on business at Louisville, Ky., in 1851. Catharine died in 1864; Henry in 1876. He was an 1812 soldier. Daniel McDeavitt, the father, died in 1805 at the age of forty-nine. His widow survived until 1835."

2 Souvenir History of Slippery Rock, PA, 1923 ed. Rev. Geo. S. Bowden, Ziegler Printing, Butler PA, p.23
"Brady township, once part of Slippery Rock claims as its first settler, Luke Covert, who came in 1796; while James Campbell, Alexander Irvine and Bartol Loffer came the following year as did also Daniel McDeavitts and his wife and three children, Henry, Catherine, and James.

Source notes

  • The reference in the 1883 biography of Daniel McDeavitt to "Greensburg", is probably Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., PA. Depending on how long they were in that area, the three older children could have been born there, in Newcastle, Delaware, or in Ireland. As only the first 3 children accompanied the parents into Butler County in 1797, it is assumed that John was born between that date and the 1805 death of his father, and in Butler Co., probably Brady Twp..
  • The note that Daniel went "back to Maryland" to work, after arriving in Butler County suggests that they had been there before. Possibly they immigrated through Baltimore, before residing in Newcastle, Delaware. Or the reference may meant simply that he went "back east".
