Hello Betty,   When I was looking up records for St. Henry's Cemetery in Moselem Springs at the Schwenkfelder Library, there was a record for the cemetery compiled in 1976 by Monseignor Charles Allwein of Most Blessed Sacrament Church in Bally. Father Allwein noted that he could not copy all the burials down because many stones were broken or too badly weather-worn to read or were buried in weeds and brush. Father Alwein noted that the cornerstone of St. Henry's Church was dated 1823 and when the Church was torn down the stones from the Church, including the cornerstone, were used in the wall of the cemetery. The cemetery is about 75 by 100 feet and can be approached from the road.   Father Allwein noted that his sources for the cemetery were Schuyler C. Brossman who copied tombstones Sept 28, 1975, also a project of Boy Scouts of Sacred Heart Church, Allentown, Nov 1, 1966, and Monseignor Leo G. Fink's book "Old Jesuit Trails in Penn's Forest."   My brother had gone to the cemetery maybe 10 years ago and it is the middle of a field and at that time was very overgrown, pretty much a jungle. He tried taking some pictures of the tombstones. He was able to photograph tombstones for Barbara Lovina Thompson, wife of Isaac Thompson; Solomon, son of Thomas and Maria Dum; Thomas, son of Jacob and Mariana? Dumm; Mary Elizabeth Dum, wife of Thomas; and Jacob Michael Dum, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Dum.     Christine Schultz --- On Mon, 12/31/12, Betty J.

Volume 2, page 382 and 364.  I assume this patent book reference is to records in Philadelphia.
