  Buried Old Cemetery. On 21 September 1846 an inquest of pertition was requested concerning the real estate of William L. Peart of Pine Township, 348 acres adjoining James Cochran, Samuel Hutchinson and land previously sold by William L. Peart to Walter Sloan his brother-in-law. Peart's heirs were eleven children: Rachel wife of William Meaner of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, Rosanna wife of Samuel Cochran, Susannah Peart and Samuel Peart, all of age; also William, Eliza Jane, Margaret, Else Anne, Nancy, Adeline and Easter Peart, minors. This Peart estate was continued over many years until all of the children were grown up and until after the death of the widow. There were distribution payments from time to time with many releases and receipts. In a final affidavit dated 18 February 1884, S. M. Peart lists the heirs as follows: Isabella Peart, wife of William S. Peart, now wife of Joseph Campbell; Rachel Peart, widow of William Manor; Rosannah Peart wife of Samuel Cochran; Susanna Peart, widow of Samuel Sloan; Eliza Peart wife of John Meanor; Margaret Mateer now wife of Chris Foster, only child of Margaret Peart and Robert Mateer now deceased; William L. Frank and Adella Frank, only children of Elsi Anne Peart and Ezra Frank both decased; Nancy P. Peart wife of A. J. Thompson; Adeline P. Burgess; and Esther Peart wife of David Prugh. The will of William Peart Jr., written 3 October 1849, probated 16 October 1849, bequeathed to his wife Isabella all property she brought with her and one-third of all money arising from the sale of personal property; if she should give birth to an heir, the heir to have the remaining two-thirds, but Isabella to have the use of all until the child is fourteen years of age.
