Hi Paul, Thanks for the offer to take me out to the cemetery. I've been out to it several times, in fact I found John's civil war head stone. He served in the 134th PA infantry. It's sad to see how the cemetery has been allowed to fall into such bad shape. I'll be glad to share any and all info on the HAYS and WHITAKER lines. I'm always on the lookout for any leads about the lines I'm researching. When I Linda's post about Brownsdale I replyed in hopes she may have some info that may be of help to me. Ralph "Paul T.
