    Notes:

    The Monjars are of French extraction, and Richard Monjar, the original settler of the family in Venango county, was a native of Maryland. He was a shoemaker, and the first of that trade to come to Irwin township, this county, where he secured a tract of four hundred acres lying three miles west of what is now the borough of Clintonville. It was in 1797 that he made his home there, building a log house upon a part of his land which later passed into the possession of James Farron, though the principal part of his holding remains in the hands of his descendants, going to his son, Surrena, whose son E. Hayes Monjar now owns and occupies it. Richard Monjar made the first clearing upon his tract. He married Elizabeth Ghost, who was of a German family, and who survived him many years, his death occurring about 1832, hers in 1867. They reared a large family, as follows: Mary married Thomas Van Dyke, of Butler county, Pa., and lived to be one hundred and two years old; Frances became the wife of George Crawford, and both died in Venango county; Christina, who became the wife of James Hoffman, lived in Clinton township, where she and her husband died; Sarah married Samuel Richards, and both died in Venango county in old age; Barbara married Eli Hovis, who survived her, her death occurring at the age of seventy years, his in September, 1917 (see their record elsewhere in this work) ; George K., who was born in Irwin township in 1806, married Eliza Perry June 4, 1835, and died at the age of eighty years (they had one son and five daughters, and lived on part of the place settled by Richard Monjar in 1797, the son. Perry, being still there) ; Samuel B. was the father of John H. Monjar; Surrena obtained part of the home farm, and his son E. Hayes Monjar is now residing there; Philip G. died when twentytwo years old.
