b. circa 1792, d. between 1870 and 1871
Family
FatherMarvin Garvin1 d. May 1794
ChartsAncestry of David Kipp Melat
     Samuel Garvin was born circa 1792 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.2,3,4 He was the son of Marvin Garvin.1 He married Sarah Heck, daughter of Philip Heck and Elizabeth Breiss, on 25 March 1811 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He married Jane Patterson on 26 December 1850.5,6 He died between 1870 and 1871 in Clarion Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania.7,8
     Samuel was named a benefitiary in his father's will. According to the will, Marvin's "body cloathing" was to be divided equally among his three sons. In addition, Samuel was to receive "a Testament and Boston on the Covenant of Grace" as well as a share in remainder of his father's estate.1,9
     Samuel was a minor under the age of 14 when his father died in 1794. The Westmoreland County Orphan's Court appointed John Probst of North Huntington Township as Samuel's guardian. In 1806, when Samuel reached the age of 14, he petitioned the court for James B. McGrew to be his guardian.10
     Samuel Garvin took 14 acres of his father's Newton property in North Huntington Township as his share of his father's estate. He sold the property to Samuel Johnston in 1812.11,12
     Samuel Garvin was living in North Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1820.13 Samuel and Sarah moved their family from Westmoreland County to Clarion Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, between 1820 and 1830 (Claron Township was part of Armstrong County until 1841 when Clarion County was administratively created). They lived in Clarion County the rest of his life.13,14,15,16,17,7 Samuel owned 2 acres in Clarion Township, Clarion County. According to the 1887 Clarion County History, Samuel had taken down a small frame-house at Clugh's Mill and moved it to the property he had purchased east of the future town of Clarion. The house was one of the first houses built on the site of the future county seat.18,19
     Samuel Garvin was a shoemaker, "cleared a few fields for cultivation, and occarsionally burnt a tar-kiln and boated the product to Pittsburgh."19,16,7,18 He served as county auditor in Clarion County in 1857.20
     According to information provided by H. Benton Garvin, Samuel and Jane were married in 1848; however, Jane's obituary states they were married in 1850. Mr. Garvin's data which may have come from a family record also states that Samuel and Jane were the parents of two children, but only their daughter Malvina is known. According to the 1900 census, Jane was the mother of only one child. Jane's obituary notes "Mrs. Davis is the only surviving child of this union" suggesting there were other children who predeceased Jane.6,5,16,21,22

Family
ChartsAncestry of David Kipp Melat
     Philip Heck was born before 1765 likely in Berks County, Pennsylvania.2 He married Elizabeth Breiss on 6 December 1785 in Bern Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.3,4,5 He died between 4 February 1826 and 17 March 1826 in North Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.6
     
Research Note:

Johan Yost Heck appears to be the progenitor of the Heck family that lived in Bern Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Yost is the father of Catherine and Jacob who immigrated to Pennsylvania with him in 1733. He is also the father of Margaret according to her baptizmal record in 1739. While there is no documented proof of any other children it is likely that he was the father of John Heck of Allen Township, Cumberland County and of Philip Heck of Maiden Township, Berks County. Further Yost is likely the grandfather of Philip Heck of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

According to most online trees, Philip Heck of Westmoreland County is the son of Yost's son Jacob and his wife Judith. While Jacob and Judith are the correct age and proximity to be Philip's parents, there is no proof of that relationship. Since Yost was likely the father of John Heck and Philip Heck, who also lived in Bern Township around the time that Philip of Westmoreland County was born, they must also be considered candidates to be Philip's father until additional evidence is found.7,8,9,10,11,12,13
     According to a biographical sketch of their son John, Philip and Elizabeth were from Berks County and their marriage record shows they were married in Bern Township, Berks County.5,3 Philip Heck was probably the Philip Heck listed as a single freeman on the tax list for for Bern Township in 1785. He may have appeared on the Bern Township tax lists as early as 1779 when there were two Philip Hecks, one listed as Philip Heck Jr and the other Philip who first appeared on the tax list in 1767. Both Philip Hecks continue to appear on the Bern Township lists until 1789. The elder Philip appears to have moved to Maiden Creek Township, Berks County around 1786 and lived there until his death in 1808. The younger Philip Heck also appears to have lived in Maiden Creek Township until around 1789. The relationship between the two Philip Hecks is unclear. It is unlikely that the elder Philip is the father of the younger Philip who was most likely born before 1765.14
     Philip Heck and Elizabeth were living in Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1792 when their daughter Sarah was baptized.4,15,16 Philip appears on the in 1795 tax list for Allen Township. He was taxed for 2 horses and 2 cows. In additionl to Philip, a John Heck and John Heck, a single freeman, were also listed on the Allen Township tax list that year. John Heck first appeared on the Allen Township tax list in 1785, taxed for 200 acres.17
     Philip's name appears on a subscription list dated 4 April 1797 for a new church house to be built in Shiremanstown, Allen Township. Philip pledged 7 shillings and 6 pence toward the effort. The church was known as the "Peace Church." and the building was in use for over a hundred years as a church and later as a school.15
     Philip and Elizabeth were living in North Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, by 1798.18,19,20,21 Philip purchased 100 acres in North Huntington Township on 13 March 1807 from Jacob Painter and Andrew Christy.22 He purchased 263 acres in North Huntington Township in 1814 with his son John from Adam Horn, Sr. for $2500.23
     Philip Heck left a will dated 4 February 1826. The will was entered into probate on 17 March 1826. According to the will, Philip names his wife Elizabeth and children William, Barbara, Christena, Catherine, Molly (married to Jacob Smith), Jacob, and Sarah (married to Samuel Garvin). Several of his children were not listed in his will by name including his sons John and Philip, and daughters Margaret and Judith. Daniel Beighly and his son Jacob Heck were named executors.24

ChartsAncestry of David Kipp Melat
     Elizabeth Breiss was born circa 16 March 1766.1 She married Philip Heck on 6 December 1785 in Bern Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.4,3,2 She died on 9 March 1843 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.1
     
Research Note:

According to Elizabeth and Philip's marriage record, Elizabeth's name was transcribed, likely from German script into English, as "Priest." In an 1877 biographicial sketch of Elizabeth's son John, Elizabeth's father's name was listed as "Brice," a Captain in the Revolution. Further, a biographical sketch of Lewis Clark Walkinshaw, author of the "Annals of Southwestern Pennsylvania," states that "Mrs. Walkinshaw [a reference to his wife Bess Jean Garvin, great-granddaughter of Samuel and Sallie (Heck) Garvin] brought to the children and grandchildren the ancestral lines of these Revolutionary soldiers: Marvin Garvin, Emanuel Ebbs, Captain John Brice, Philip Heck, of Fort Walthour; Richard Wallace, and Adam Slack...." The reference to Captain John Brice reenforces the reference in the biographical sketch of Elizabeth's son John, that she was a daughter of Captain Brice. Another interesting data point is found in the baptism of Elizabeth and Philip's daughter Sarah in 1792. In that record, the sponsor's name is Gertraud "Breiss." While there is no indication in this record of any relationship between Gertraud Breiss and Elizabeth or Philip, this name would have been pronounced similar to "Brice" suggesting a possible connection.

Concerning Elizanbeth's name in the marriage record, it is likely that "Priest" is a poorly transliterated version of the name of the name "Breiss" where the double "s" at the end of the name was written as the German letter eszett which in German script would look similar to the English "st." Further the capital letters "P" and "B" look similar in German script and even sound similar making them easily interchangable in certain circumstances. The possible misreading of the original record could explain the discrepancy and suggests that Elizabeth's family name was "Breiss" which would be translerated into English as either "Brice" or "Price."4,2,5,3
     Elizabeth Heck and Philip were living in Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1792 when their daughter Sarah was baptized.3,6,7
     Elizabeth and Philip were living in North Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, by 1798.8,9,10,11 She continued to live in North Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, following Philip's death.12,13
     Elizabeth Heck left a will dated 1 April 1839, living in Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County.14

     Marvin Garvin married Jean (?)1 He died in May 1794 in North Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.1
     
Research Note, 1790:

Marvin Garvin, John Garvin, Archibald Garvin, and John Christy were living in close proximity to one another in North Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, by 1790. Marvin Garvin and John Christy are both named in the estate records of Archibald and John Garvin, who died in North Huntington Township in 1791 and 1792, respectively. Some online family trees state (without any documentation) that John Christy's wife was Margaret Garvin suggesting a familial relationship between the Christy and Garvin families. No evidence has been identified that determines the nature of the relationship among these four men.2,3,4,5
     Marvin Garvin appears as a witness to two land deeds in 1774 in Hamilton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Marvin nor any other Garvins appears in the tax records for Hamilton Township in that timeframe; however, there are Garvins living elsewhere in Cumberland County. No evidence has been found that connects Marvin to these families.6
     Marvin and John Garvin were living in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in February 1782 when they witnessed a deed for land sold in Hempfield Township.7 He and John Garvin appear on the tax lists for North Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, between 1783 and 1789. In 1786, Marvin was taxed for 100 acres, 2 horses, 1 cattle, 2 sheep.8,9
     Marvin Garvin applied for a land warrant of 200 acres in North Huntington Township that was bounded by lands occupied by Samuel Perry, William Fulton, William Boleston, and John Cristy in 1785. The surveyed was dated 16 June 1785 and contained 214 acres. In the patent for the land warrant enrolled on 27 March 1789, the land was called "Newton."10
     Marvin Garvin and his family appeared in the 1790 census in North Huntington Township. The household likely consisted of Marvin, his wife, sons Joseph and Archibald, and daughters Jane and Agnes.3
     Marvin Garvin served as a member of the Rangers of the Frontier during the American Revolution. Rangers were recruits who served in militas formed in the western frontier counties of Pennsylvania to protect communities from native American attacks. Native Americans were motived to harrass frontier settlers who were pushing into unsettled lands and spurred on by loyalist forces further west with designs of pushing east to pressure colonial forces. in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, between 1778 and 1783.11
     Marvin Garvin left a will dated 7 May 1794 The will was entered into probated on 15 May 1794, 8 days after it was written. According to the will, Marvin stated that his wife Jean should receive the "sum of the value of twenty pounds currency together with the bed and bed cloaths her and I commonly sleep in and one cow. He directed that all my first wife's "body cloathing" and riding saddle be divided between his two daughters Jenny and Agnes. His three sons, Archibald, Joseph, and Samuel were to receive all Marvin's "body cloaths" to be divided equally among them. Marvin bequeathed each of his five children religious books suggesting that Marvin and his family were literate. His daughter Jenny was to receive Marvin's "pocket bible" and Gospel Sonnets; Agnes one School bible and the Afflicted Man's Companion; Archibald his large Bible; Joseph a School bible and my old Margin bible; Samuel a Testament and Boston on the Covenant of Grace. The remainder of his estate was to be divided among his five children, but Marvin also notes that his wife Jean appeared to be pregnant and that their unborn child would receive an equal share of his estate. James Caldwell, Executor of Marvin's will, gave an accounting of Marvin's personal estate as follows: 244 pounds, 15 shillings, 4 pence; 25 pounds, 3 shillings, 6 pence disbursed; 12 shillings expenses to Court; with a balance of 218 pounds, 19 shillings, 10 pence "subject to distribution agreeable to will."1,12
     The Executor of Marvin's estate petitioned the Westmoreland County Orphan's Court to appoint guardians for Marvin's minor children. Samuel Osburn was appointed guardian for his son Archibald; John McConnell of North Huntington Township for his daughter Agnes; John Christy of North Huntington Township for his son Joseph and daughter Jane; and John Probst of North Huntington Township for his son Samuel.13
     Marvin Garvin's property called "Newton" in North Huntington Township was sold by quit-claim deeds. Marvin's son Archibald and daughter Jane Shields sold their share to Marvin's son-in-law James Johnston in 1806. James in turn sold the property to Samuel Johnston who had married Marvin's widow Jean. Marvin's son Samuel sold his share to Samuel Johnston in 1812.14,15
