Probably not. In Clinton Twp there are (and were) 2 different Presby churches. One is the Westminister Presby Church on Westminister Road, and secondly I think, is the one you mention. That one is located on Route 228, left side of the road as you go westward on 228. Both might be visible on a mapquest map. Now, you have to research the differences between them (I'm R.C. so I don't know the nuances). I DO know however that the Pleasant Unity Presby. Church on Rt.908 is in either Fawn or Frazier Twp. I'm not sure which; the twp lines all run together to me in that neighborhood, and is, for sure, in Allegheny County, and it is, for sure, a "Cumberland" Presbyterian Church. Pleasant Unity is an active church, and has its own graveyard. See Norm Meinert's "Allegheny River Family Archives" website (google it) for a contributed reading for that graveyard. Westminister has its own graveyard, I'm not sure if Clinton Presby. does or not. The only source I know of for a reading of the Westminister Presby. graveyard is in a set of books, and the title of that particular one is "Cemeteries of the Southern Townships of Butler Co" or something similar.

You are so right - I know that Pleasant Unity is in Culmerville and that Culmerville is in northern Allegheny County. Duh!!! I have a copy of that great little historical booklet that you sent me from there. It's just that Crawford Jones's name was on the Application of Association for this church, but he's buried at Pleasant Unity. (Every answer presents 3 more questrions!) Crawford Jones was my paternal ggrandfather. A lot of his family is buried there. Pleasant Unity used to be a Cumberland Presbyterian Church, but now they're a United Presbyterian Church. There are not very many Cumberland Presby's left any more. I think there's one in Pittsburgh. Again, thanks for your help. "Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire." W. B.
