Keep up the good work Carline and thanks. I am sure someone will benefit greatly from your work. I have a G,G,G grandfather buried somewhere in Butler Co back in 1815, but may never find where that grave is. Dorothy L.

Page 12 & 99 in A History of Union Township Butler County Ohio by Virginia Shewalter, has the earliest burial in this cemetery to be Nancy Legg McMaken wife of John McMaken, died- Oct 9, 1820 27Y. The tombstone is very legible. Also in Shewalter's work, Nancy is supposed to be the daughter of Charles (1763 - 1864) and Rachel Wilcoxon (1762 - 1847) Legg and this coincides with online genealogies. Nancy is supposed to have married ?? McMaken. Ms Shewalter's book identifies Nancy as Joseph McMaken 1755-1818 daughter in law. but the McMaken online genealogies show either no Nancy as a wife of John McMaken, son of this Joseph or a Nancy Lockwood daughter in law to a John McMaken Since "Nancy McMaken" was 27 when she died and may have been married 7 years, she is likely to have had at least 1 child. Does any one have any idea if Shewalter's rendition of Nancy being the daughter in law of Joseph McMaken 1755-1818 is right/wrong? Could Nancy have been the daughter in law of John McMaken a possible brother to Joseph McMaken 1755-1818? I'm not planning on doing real research on everyone in the cemetery but have found interesting family connections within the cemetery using Shewalter's book and online genealogies. This question has me very confused- but that is easy when families named all their children the same names as their neices and nephews. Thank-you for any help.
