My Genealogy Hound

ROBERT CAHALL, farmer, P. O. Levanna, is a grandson of James Cahall, a native of Pennsylvania, who emigrated to Kentucky at an early day and located near Minerva, where he resided until 1814, at which time he moved to Brown County and settled on Bullskin Creek, where he passed the remainder of his life. His maternal grandparent, James Parker, was a native of Ireland. He was a State pioneer to Ohio, and settled on the Indian territory in 1798. His location was afterward laid out in Clermont County, where he resided until his death. Thomas Cahall, the father of our subject, was born near Philadelphia Penn., in 1790. He moved with his parents to this county, and made his final settlement in Pleasant Township, where he died in January, 1871. His life companion, Sarah (Parker) Cahall, was a native of Virginia, and died in March, 1871. They raised a family of eleven children, all of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. Of this number eight are living, six being old-time residenters of Brown County. Mr. C. settled on his present estate of 191 acres in 1860. He numbers among the oldest living residents of the county and has lived in single blessedness all his days; his character is irreproachable, and his social qualifications and genial disposition commend him to all. With an extended acquaintance and hosts of friends, the memory of Robert Cahall will live long after he may have passed away.
