I am looking for the death certificates, birth certificates, marriage records etc, of those family members who are buried at Old Bethel. I am assuming that they would have attended the Old Bethel Presbyterian Church when it stood there with the cemetery. I am hoping that the church records survive some where. Or is the church still standing and in use there? I have not been there to look. I am curious though.

I guess I could have still said who it was I'm looking for!! Sorry. I am looking for information on my family members, Ruth Ann FULTON CLARK MIDDLETON, Ruben CHANCE (several spellings), Thomas Jefferson FULTON, Solomon Allen FULTON, "Princess" CHANCE, and many more (Dreisbachs and so on). I have the cemeteries where they are buried, but I am hoping to find church records somewhere.
