If you are speaking of Butler Co., then it would be Connoquenessing Tp. Petersburg was the village's first name. Then it was called Petersville. Some of the old timers still call it Petersville, even though it was incorporated as the borough of Connoquenessing, Pa.

What twp is/was the town of Petersburg located in? Thanks.

Perhaps you have already done this, but if you go to the Butler County 1883 history and search on Purviance, you get hits on many pages in both the 1883 and 1895 histories. http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabutler/1883/ Ed McClelland, Alexandria, Virginia.

I am working on a book of Hemphill Cemetery located in Chicora. I have not found any record of an Andrew HEMPHILL. Could you give some more information? What does 1740 refer to? Date of birth, death, marriage, etc? There is also no record for him at St. John's Chicora or McCollough.

www.rootsweb.com/~pabutle2 Click on Land Warrants in the top left list. When you get to that page, you will find a link to the library. They can give you the information you are requesting.

If at all possible could someone locate where in Butler Co., a Samuel A PURVIANCE, 26 Oct 1859 -- Vol. H, No. 55, p. 91, and a John N. PURVIANCE, 6 Jun 1864 -- Vol. H, No. 59, p. 99 had land warrants? I am interested to find out exactly what township/area they were living in. Thanks very much for any help.

Does anyone know the name or anyone who is buried in the cemetery on Hill Street in Evans City? People are using it as a parking lot as they attend St John's church and other functions there. Is there a cemetery association in Butler County to help preserve old cemeteries? I sure hate to see people driving on it. Lorraine

There is a cemetery named Hemphill Cemetery in Chicora, Butler Co. If it is named for him, it may be a place to look. -----Original Message----- From: larry young <shelty48@yahoo.com> To: PABUTLER-L@rootsweb.com <PABUTLER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, April 21, 2002 12:20 AM Subject: [PABUTLER-L] Andrew HEMPHILL, PA About 1740s >Looking for anybody researching an Andrew HEMPHILL of >the 1740s.

Thank you Pat and Don for your responses - much appreciated. Roseline

Rosaline, I will try to answer your questions about the Portersville Bible Church. The church is a protestant church that is independent. Many churches use Bible Church in their name, and most of them are independent, in other words, are not a part of a larger organization or denomination. There are some Bible churches that are a part of a larger organization or denomination. There is a Butler County Cemetery Inventory Book available from Mechling Bookbindery online that includes the Portersville Bible Church. You can find it at http://mechlingbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MBO&Product_Code=7252 The address for the church is: Portersville Bible Church Route 488 Portersville, PA 16051 Phone: 724-368-3414 Go to http://webserver.health.state.pa.us/health/cwp/view.asp?a=168&Q=202275 to find information on obtaining death records for the state of Pennsylvania.
