Gordon: Leitersburg is a small town (several hundred people). There is no funeral home in the town. Some which have been in business for many years which would possibly have burials in Leitersburg are: Minnich Funeral Home, 415 E.Wilson Blvd., Hagerstown, MD 21740 -(301)-739-6800 ; Gerald N. Minnich Funeral Home (no relation), 305 N. Potomac St., Hagerstown, MD 21740 (301-739-1414); possibly the Grove-Bowersox Funeral Home, 50 S. Broad St., Waynesboro, PA 17268 (717) 762-2811. These are long established funeral homes, or successors of other funeral homes. Waynesboro, PA is only a few miles from Leitersburg, and could well serve families in that area. The Davis Funeral Home in Smithsburg, MD and the Douglas E. Fiery Funeral Home in Hagerstown are more recently established, and not likely to have records back into earlier years. Good luck.

I wonder if someone with access to Washington County Cemetery Records could please do me a big favor and look for the burial place of Nancy Smith Davis who died 16 Oct 1832 in Boonsboro. She was married to Edward Davis by Rev. B. Kurtz, minister St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church,in Hagerstown, but I believe they were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Does anyone know where the M.E. Church graveyard is located (near Boonsboro?)? I believe Nancy's mother, Letitia Smith, is buried in the M.E. Church graveyard. What other Smiths are buried there--1830-1860 period? Are there any records available for the M.E. church? Any help will be greatly appreciated. --

Abby: Thank you, the first listing is Rebecca, I will visit soon and try and find and photograph her grave. While I might be a genealogy nut, I also love my mountain apples and am waiting for Sept. to go to Waynesboro area to purchase them.

I'm sorry, I don't, Gordon. I'm not a local person - I live in Colorado. Some of the local folks will have to give you that information .

Here you go: Moss Spring Presbyterian Graveyard a.k.a. Red Church Cemetery, Greencastle, Franklin County, Pa. This church was founded by the Scotch-Irish Presbyterian in 1738. The old white Church was founded in the 1750's by members of the old red church which split off over the SCHISM of the Presbyterian Church in America. After the SCHISM was oveer they re-united in 1825 becoming one church agian.

Gordon, Have you made a time line of this family's deaths, burial place, and when "it" was "White" and "Red"? I did this with one of my lines and was able to determine that at one place in time some were almost persona non gratia in one church so were buried in a "neutral" cemetery. The Genealogy Nut

Lauren: Good sleuthing would be more like it! Let me try you as a sounding board on something else. The Crooks were strict Presbyterian Convenators as I mentioned. I am missing four graves sites in Greencastle, Pa. Everyone of them is listed in my family bible, the burials occurred between 1800-1842 which is rather late. The family plot is in Moss Spring Cemetery, Greencastle which is a original Convenator Cemetery holds 10 members of the family including the imingrant, it even includes the wife of my ggggg grandfather BUT not him, it includes some of his children and some of his grandchildren, his first son is there BUT neither of his two wives, the same applies to another son he is there but his wife isn't. I know for a fact that the SCHISM of the Presbyterian Church effected them, as some of the family left the original "White Church" and established the "Red Church" They were united in 1825 as to what is the present day Presbyterian Church of Greencastle.SO what do you think could have happened to these four burials. I can find absolutely no record of their graves, Kittchotinny Hist. Soc. has no records, Franklin County has no records. James my gggg grandfather had substantial holdings and it took several years to probate his will (which I have), the same applies to his son Robert (whose 2 wives are missing) he was very prominent in Franklin County, a newspaper owner and a State legislator among other things. A mis-placed detective in need!

Gordon, a few questions need answering so that others can come forth with suggestions about your research problem. 1. What kind of burial records are in existence? Did the church keep accurate records for the cemetery? Have you looked at them? 2. Are there unmarked graves for which there are no records? Is there ground still there without stones that could be gravesites? 3. If the burials are from that time period and the stones still exist, they were very good quality. Are any stones unreadable? 4. Because the church reunited in 1825, I don't know what effect the schism had. I don't know of any burial taboos other than suicides not being able to be buried in hallowed ground. I would guess that family would have buried in their burial plots regardless of a church split if they wanted to. Is there something in the dogma of the church that would prevent burial there? Did the husbands outlive their wives? I can tell you from my own research that it happens that wives and husbands are not buried in the same place. Sometimes wives are buried with their families. Sometimes husbands are buried with second wives. I have one relative who is buried between her two husbands @:>) and another living relative who is planning to do just that herself. Sometimes the sheer cost of transporting bodies made other arrangements more practical. I have a GGUncle who came to Colorado in a last ditch effort to stop TB in the 1890's. He is buried in Boulder with a Civil War marker and his whole family is back in Iowa. I think she couldn't afford to bring his body home, he'd been ill for a long time. I have other relatives who outlived their wives and were buried in another place because they had moved. I have a Great Uncle and Aunt who had no children and they each were buried in their respective family plots in different cities. Have you checked their family of origin burial plots for the missing wives? I've also found husbands buried next to wives and there is no marker because there was no family left to put up a marker. Cemetery records helped me solve that question. When you look through burial records it is not uncommon for a wife or children to be buried in a cemetery and the parents or husband is not there. Many women died in childbirth and childhood disease killed a lot of young children. That husband usually went on to marry again, especially if he had other children to raise. I am unfamiliar with the area of PA that you are working on. Hopefully some others on the list will have suggestions to add.

Lauren: Another thing strikes me. The Crooks family were Presbyterian Convenators, however by 1842 they were branching out to other religions, especially thru marriages, so are there any Lutheran or Seceder burial grounds in Leitersburg for this period of time. Also do you have any other info on the Mayhugh family?

Gordon, From Morrow and Morrow's marriage index are these spelling variations: MAYHEW, MAHUGH, and MAYHU Grooms: John Viney Bell 12/2/1801 Jm./Reb. Jackson 4/1/1816 Benj. F./Jane E. Bridgement 7/26/1839 Jm. F./Han. Deitrick 8/17/1859 Brides: MAYHEW, Maria./Arch. Ziegler 6/17/1837 MAHUGH, Maria F./Wm. Onderdonk 10/29/1850 There is nothing in estate distributions 1778-1835 and nothing in F. Edward Wright's newspaper extractions from 1820-1830. The two cemetery volumes I own are II and III. II is Clearspring district 4 and Hancock dist. 5 and vol. III is Cavetown district 7, Rohrersville, dist. 8 and Conococheague dist. 13. Perhaps someone else who has the rest of the volumes can do a lookup for you. From George Russell Ely's guide to research in the county is a list of available church records. There is a Presbyterian Church in Hagerstown but records available appear to start in 1858 and those are in the Washington County Historical Society. There are only two church records listed at Leitersburg - Jacob's Lutheran Church - 1791-1854 compiled by Matilda Detrich in 1970 and Jacob's Church 1791-1854 - Rachael S. Schwartz, handwritten transcript 1951 also in the historical society. The first Jacob's Church mentioned is available on microfilm from Family History Centers. If you want those numbers, let me know. Note: there may be other church records not listed here - not all records appear to be available. Another sourcebook is Edna Kanely's, Directory of Maryland Church Records. Good hunting!

Oh boy!!! A private detective by trade. Maybe you can help me find my Susannah Bolton or Boulton. Susannah Hyatt md. an Aaron Skaggs or Scaggs. Aaron d. and Susannah md. John Mobbley. John d. and she md. Henry Bolton or Boulton about l727 and they just disappeared. I can't find them any place. I ran the search sheet at the LDS library and it suggest that he might have gone to Washington Co., MD., or Union Co., S.C. I can't find them any place.

Lauren: That's not the right one, I understand there were quite a few Mayhughs. The one I am looking for was 23 when she died and was married to James P. Mayhugh and left her husband and two daughters.Assuming he was of similar age he probably re-married. I am reading this right out of the family bible where it was recorded by her Father, almost all the other burials mention a Church and/or Cemetery, so I am guessing this had to be the Mayhugh burial ground.
