Barbara, I found several CHRIST buried at the Schafferstown Cemetery just east of (oh boy) I have to find my notes on that trip not 2 months back. It's south of MYERSTOWN, and is very close to the Lebanon / Berks County border, about 6 miles south below Amity Acres if you took the old farm roads. It might have been Route ?? 214 ??. This church dates back to the 1700's with a graveyard behind it, but on a steep inclined hill. I remember these stones well, because of the name CHRIST. I've got to get all of my records filed properly, but let me look for my notes from that day. I can then tell you the exact name of the church and cemetery and it's location. It was a Luthern Reformed, that much I do remember and there were MOYER ROYER EMMERICK and tons of others buried there, as well.
