Dear Carolyn; According to Arthur Weaner, "The list of gravestones in the Northern/Osborns Low Dutch Cemetery, Straban Twp., list no stones for this surname. However, one of the wives of a Banta who resided at 'Loss and Gain" the Banta home, was killed by a falling tree in a storm and buried in this cemetery, the location of which the late Samuel Russell Osborn ascertained from his map of the cemetery. Since the Baptism and the Deacons Records were written in Dutch, I would expect that any inscriptions on gravestones installed prior to say 1790 would be also. Since many of the current stones are memorial stones erected in the 1800's, it is possible that the Banta family removed the original stones with the intention of erecting a memorial stone, but never completed the plan.

Do you have any thing that we could use as proof that Maria and Henry Banta are buried at the northern cemetery? If so, I can ask Findagrave FAG to move them to that list, but I have to have something that says definitely WHERE they were buried, Northern or Southern, or maybe at the Low Dutch Reform church of Conewago (that would be northern) or maybe names Brush Run road (also northern). Here is a hot link to the SOUTHERN Low Dutch Cemetery sometimes called Youngs: [1]http://goo.gl/cLNo0 I would love to move them to the Northern -- after all they lived there in that cabin across the road. Wasn't their land named "Mount Misery" or was that a different Banta? The southern cemetery was a few miles away, which would not have been logical in that day; Henry died 1777 and Maria in 1778. Shirley Wood is the volunteer responsible for posting and updating their memorials. I think she just posted them in 2011.
