Hi, After writing all of these names, towns and graveyards....I have some questions. Where are the following Towns, what are they called today? Hinkson's Corner Moore's Station Thortonville, Pa. Where are the following Cemeteries? Swedenborgian Cemetery, Upper Darby Mt. Hope Kathy Fitzgerald

Kathy, Go to http://www.delcohistory.org/ for all could ever want to know about Hinksons's Corner and Moore's Station. There was no hit for Thortonville, but Thornton, PA is right at the Chester/Delaware Counties border, next to Cheyney. The Swedenborgian Cemetery was part of the First New Jerusalem Church. It was near Marshall and Springton Road. The church was demolished in 1912. The cemetery was dug up about 1965. The remains were transferred to a mass grave in Mt. Zion Cemetery. I can tell you that the mass grave is unmarked and the only records I have been able to discover are WPA records, available at Delaware County Historical Society...several of my PILLING ancestors were buried there. My guess is that the old section of Mt. Zion and Mt. Hope are one and the same, but I may very well be wrong on this one.

If someone has access to the genealogy library there, could you look up an article in the Concord Twp/Progress & Prosperity in the 19th Century by Robt P. Cas. & Virginia DeNenno, (Concord Twp Historical Society-1997). Page 92 of the name index and tell me what it says about Francis Starkey. thanks very much, Roslyn -----
