Can anyone suggest where the earliest burials in Butler County might have been? My ancestors died there around 1803-1810, after moving there from Washington County, PA. Mary

You have piqued my curiosity. What names are you interested in locating? My reasoning is that it will depend on their origin as to where they located. You have very specific groups, either family or country of ancestry that tended to settle in specific locations as they traveled to this area. Like minds feel more comfortable settling around each other, especially if a brother, cousin, or father has already established themselves in an area and may have the ability to help the newcomer to assimilate into that society or area. Just makes sense to make it easier on oneself to locate next to Dad in order to get help when needed, or, if Brother John bought 144 acres that he has to clear, he will ask you to help on the premise that you will also get the benefit of working the land and protecting against the Indians, the weather, etc., plus it doesn't get as lonely when you have family around. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Silvadv1@aol.com> To: <OHBUTLER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 2:00 AM Subject: Re: [OHBUTLER-L] Fw: Freeman Cemetery > Can anyone suggest where the earliest burials in Butler County might have > been?
