Where is Jerseytown ? and has the cemetery been read. ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Runyan, Fuller" <frunyan@state.pa.us> To: <NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 7:24 AM Subject: RE: [NJHUNTER] Swisher -- NJ to Loudoun, VA > Hi Bob, list; > > Thanks for the note. Yes I've been there. It is a treasure trove of information and a beautiful resting place for those folks. Resting there under a huge tree are the first Runyan's to the area - George and Hannah (Davis) Runyan, my direct ancestors - as well as many Kitchen's if memory serves. > > During my first visit there, in 2000, several descendants of John Funston were visiting. Dr. Funston as many on the list may know, also emigrated from central NJ to Jerseytown. I was in awe of these folks, especially the historias/genealogists in the group who knew of George & Hannah Runyan. I had just started poking around at that point, and afterwards began in earnest. > > The Swishers buried there, the Loudoun Co., VA connection, are not my direct ancestors. > > fsr > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Kitchen [mailto:dkitchen@kcnet.org] > Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 10:24 PM > To: NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] Swisher -- NJ to Loudoun, VA > > > Fuller, > Have you ever been to Jerseytown?
