    1. [OHBELMON-L] Small farm MURDOCK burials?
    2. I have not been able to find the final resting places of a set of gr-gr-gr-grandparents who died in the Belmont/Jefferson area ca. the mid-1800s. I thought perhaps someone on these lists would know of a small family plot on a farm somewhere in one of the counties. I have exhausted every cemetery list that I can locate. Any leads would be appreciated. I am seeking the burials info for George MURDOCK, son of Arthur and unk. wife, both of Ireland/NI. George was b. abroad also ca. 1810. He married Sarah Angelina MAJOR, also Irish and daughter of Archibald MAJOR. George was brought to the area by his father and stepmother Hannah HANTHORN from Chester CO., PA probably in the 1820s. They lived in the Coleraine area and were baptized at the Short Creek Presbyterian Church. I have George's and son Archibald MAJOR MURDOCK baptism info. Sarah Angelina came w/ her family much earlier, probably ca. 1810 from the York, PA area. Her father was active in the same church as mentioned above. I have the church history and info and know where her father is buried but cannot find her burial data. George died in 1847. He was baptized in 1838 as an adult. His son Archie was baptized shortly thereafter. Sarah Angelina was baptized as a youngster. Both were b. ca. 1810. I do not know her death date but it would probably have been following the birth of whom I believe to be her second son James Arthur MURDOCK ca. 1842. Archie was raised by grandfather Arthur MURDOCK. I do not know anything more about the second son. Can anyone give me a lead as to where I should be looking for burial information? Thank you. Marjory A. Austen MAPPAusten@aol.com
