Thank you so much for the information. I guess the next time I make a trip from my home in Pittsburgh to my daughters home and go through the area I will have to take some time and stop to see if I can review the Deed Book and see what they have it recorded as and it's transfers over the years. Might be interesting to view. I am going to assume that the cemetery 350+ inscriptions listed on FindAGrave.com under Bethel Cemetery is actually the one you are referring to as Tate Township Cemetery. Again, thank you for the information. Chyrl-Lawrence Bulger. In a message dated 10/10/2005 9:42:26 P.M.

Some years later,the village took the name of the church,after being called Denhamstown and Plainnfield. Dr John Charles TTippet,PhD and I were in the oldest secttion a couple weeks ago. We walked to Dr Wm Thompson,d 1840's grave,but we were within 20 feet of the town founders grave- Obed and Mary Ball Denham. Perhaps the most importantt thing is that this-the "old" cemetary in Bethel ,is 5 miles east of "Old Bethel" Methodist cemetary north of Bantam,Ohio. In 1949, Beech Forest DAR's ladies called it "Bethel Cemetary" Main Street in their cemetary book,and the newer and larger cemetary a mile s e,they called TATE TOWNSHIP cemetary.
