Carole Clarke; There are two other possibilities for Centerville... There is one in S. Hunington Twp in West Moreland Co. It is located just east of Smithton, Pa and could have been part of Fayette Co at one time, but is so slose to the border, it is often mistaken for being in Fayette CO. Also, there is a New Centerville located West of Somerset.. also very close to the Fayette Co border.. You would find it near routes 281 and 653 on a map. Good luck to you in your research...
