is one of the substantial farmers of Mercer County, where he was born May 6, 
1828.  His father, John Chvington, was a teamster in General Hull's army in the 
War of 1812, and was with Hull at the time of his surrender at Detroit.  Not 
long afterwards he became on of the first settlers of the county, locating in 
section 25, Dublin Township, in which township the son, G.E., now lives.  The 
latter was married in 1853 to Jane McIntired, and has two sons, William and 
Thomas.
