Church" is shown]. It is about in the middle of Section 18, Range 10, Township 4. More specifically, it is shown at the Southeast corner of the intersection of McKee Hill Road [Twp. Road 228] and Ohio Highway 586. The ground for the church is in the Northwest corner of an 80 160 = 240 acre farm owned by J.W. Dunn. Other research shows him to be John W. Dunn. It is highly possible that John Dunn donated the land from his farm as a site for this church. Two Questions: Do any records of that church still exist? If so, where might I find them? Was there a cemetery associated with the church? If so, have any gravestones been discovered and transcribed? I've studied the booklet "Cemeteries of Fallsbury and Perry Townships, Licking County, Ohio" published by the Licking County Genealogical Society in 1998. I did not find a cemetery mentioned at this location in Section 18. "Ohio Cemeteries" did not list it either. Thank you for your help. -Bill Martin Denver, CO Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi, Bill, we've met before, I was Fallsbury Twp. Clerk for 10 years, as well as knowing the township pretty darn well, and have never known of a cemetery there. As you probably know, there is a very poor preserved one on Buck Hill Road, one farther south on 586 a little further, and one on McDonald Road. My husband was born right beside the school and ran all over those hills as a kid and as a mushroom hunter, and there is no evidence of a cemetery there. I know there were more churches in the past.
