G.E.CHIVINGTON
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.
