John Gesaman was born in Westmoreland Co., Penn.; he owns 175 acres of improved land, in Lawrence Township, where he has lived since 1 year old; his occupation has been that of a farmer, but he has devoted a large amount of time in traveling through adjoining counties as a lecturer to children in schools, principally; his lecture was "Morals, Manners and Temperance," and his desire to instill in the minds of the young elevated thought and the use of good education; he was married, in 1849, to Miss Mary M. Reinoehl, daughter of William Reinoehl, an early settler of Lawrence Township; she is a native of the township. Mr. and Mrs. Gesaman have had five children, only two of whom now survive -- George Q. and Ezra. They are members of the United Brethren Church, and esteemed members of society.
