I have a copy of Georgetown cemetery book. There aren't ANY Haney's listed.

Was there a Methodist church? My ggg-grandmother Sarah Catherine KOONSE (or KOUNTZ, many variants) was born at Wellsville, Columbiana Co., OH on 15 May 1831 and was married to Capt. David Clinton HANEY in Columbiana Co., OH on 19 Aug 1851 by James A. SNEAD, Minister of the Gospel. This couple appears in the 1860 census in Georgetown borough, Beaver, PA with children Viola and David, Jr. Another child, George Washignton HANEY was born about 1853 and died abt 1855 and is said to be buried in "Pennsylvania". I am guessing that this occurred in Georgetown, but not sure. Perhaps if I can find a local church I can find a record of baby George Washington HANEY. I would love to find where he is buried. In all these years he has never been forgotten, but we just don't know where he is. Capt. Haney was a steamboat pilot and Captain. At this time, in the 1850s, he may not have been a Captain yet. But in the 1860 census, his occupation is listed as SB Captain. Haney later went to St. Louis and ran his boats up to the headwaters of the Missouri and down to New Orleans. I have copies of some 1860s log books, memoirs and copies of a very few precious photos of Haney and his two children & one postcard of his stemboat the "Mollie Moore". Some of this was donated in the 1970s to the Durham Western Heritage Museum in Omaha, Nebraska and goes on display every now and then. I would be happy to share the info I have with anyone interested. Any suggestions as to a cemetery used in the 1850s in Georgetown or churches in the area would be most welcome.
