What I found does not name where in the USA John Garvey was born, nor did I find the place in the USA where Hannah was born. It appears that John & Hannah did not live together, Hannah is found on the census living with one of her sons as is John. In 1812, John Garvey was living in Frontenac County, Pittsburgh Township and was in the Leeds County militia during the War of 1812. For his service, he received 100 acres of land in 1850 but I do not know where that land was located; perhaps, that is why they had moved to Haldimand County? I also did not find the parents of John Garvey nor Hannah's parents, although a tree is posted saying Hannah's maiden name was Patrick.
