For Several years it has been my desire to document the history of
my Gaar ancestors who emigrated from Bavaria to the New World in
1732, settling in Wayne County, Indiana in 1807. It is the story of
one of the County's first pioneer families. And it is the story of
a people who helped build Richmond's Nineteenth Century industrial
community, with the founding of Gaar, Scott and Co., a National and
International Manufacturer of farm machinery. Joanna Hill Mikesell
Here is the story of the Gaars and their Company. It begins with
their emigration to America from Bavaria in 1732, their original
settlement in Pennsylvania, their later migrations to Virginia and
finally to Indiana. This Chronicle of the Gaars is a real American
Story, full of all the joys and sorrows, successes and failures of
taming a wilderness and building a pioneer industry. Jean Prichard |
