    1. [PABERKS] St. Henry's Mission

    3. Can anyone tell me anything about St. Henry's RC Mission in Richmond Township, Berks County? It seems to have been in operation 1823 to 1865. There was a church and a graveyard. I think both of these reverted to St. Mary's RC Church, Hamburg who sold the land it to Jacob Hoch in 1872. The church is no longer standing, but the graveyard is still there. In the deed to Jacob Hoch it claims the tract of 3 acres 56 perches was part of a patent that was granted on April 24, 1810 in Patent Book H. Volume 2, page 382 and 364. I assume this patent book reference is to records in Philadelphia. Betty Burdan
