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".
