Since you didn't provide time frames, I can only guess these are the graves you are looking for. Incidentally, the HUMMELSTOWN CEMETERY is not directly related to the ZION EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH, and is several blocks distant from that graveyard. Copied directly from Dr. Wm. H. Egle's "Notes and Queries" are the following entries for the ZION EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN graveyard: BEINHAUER, Christina, wf. P., b. July 30, 1752; d. Mar 26, 1826. BEINHAUER, Peter b. Feb 22, 1744; d. Dec 4, 1818. .... HUMMEL, Eliz., d. F. b. Sep 23, 1807; d. Mar. 24, 1836. HUMMEL, John, b. Sept. 11, 1774; d. Ap. 8, 1832. These may (or may not) be the ancestors in Hummelstown you are looking for. Since nearly every HUMMELSTOWN CEMETERY page I reached by searching the web only listed partial names and inscriptions, I can't say if there are other Beinhauer or Hummel internments matching your brief references there. -- Regards, CHARLES EARL FIES -- Fies Family Fotos <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/> FIES/FEES Family History Research Site <http://www.fies-fees.org> BABB - HARTMAN <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/Babbs.html> DAUPHIN CO.
