It deals specifically with Hendrick Banta (1718-1805) and his removal from Somerset Co., NJ, to Conewago, York, PA, and subsequent settlement in Kentucky in the 1780's.

HI, I did answer his question and the only mention of Painted Rock. I also said I live close (20-25 miles) and pass the marker each time I go to my hometown. I would be glad to take a picture if anyone wants a copy. Dodnna ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamela J.
