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? There is a large, old cemetery, where many who came from N.J. can be found.
