I can only hope there is an especially warm zone down below for "people" like this. Alright back to genealogy. John, The Smock Baptist Church is located right in Smock then? Ken's map shows a cemetery in Smock that corresponds to the 1872 map location of the Redstone Baptist Church. The roads and creek fit almost exactly. I see in the Redstone District of Franklin Twps there is the "Redstone Disciples Church Graveyard" located between T546 and Highway 51 North of Grindstone Road and south of Spillway Lake on Carb Apple Run. Then in the Buena Vista District, the 1872 Map show a " Baptist Church & Grave Yard" located between the two main Branches of Virgin Run that flows into the Youghiogheny River. I now wonder which Baptist church is the Big Redstone Baptist Church mentioned in Ellis pg 559? The one in Smock in LaFayette District or the one further East in Buena Vista District? This latter one would be closer to where the Yeagley lived on the Dunbar/Franklin Twp line but who know? If you do, I would love to hear from you. Mike Miller

Jane there is another Church going toward grindstone which has a red metal fence around it, the church has the name on it, This is a small Redstone cem. and it really is there. I have found there are atleast three or four Redstone Cem Redstone Cem., Brownsville Pa Redstone Batpist Cem , Smock Pa Reg Redstone Cem. and church near Grindstone Redstone Regular Baptist Cem the one that Della Reagan has in her book. and this isnt the one located in Smock. The reason I know that this Redstone Reg Baptist Cem by Della Reagan isn't the one in Smock is because there is a large plot which the Hill family has many family members buried there, and there is no way that Della could have over look this plot since its near the middle of the cem.

I don/t think they are still having burials in the Smock Baptist Cem. I was told years ago a caretaker who was to restand the fallen stones, and what he did was he removed them and used them to make a floor in the church, which was located accross the road from the cem. the big open space in the middle of the cem from what I was told has many now unmarked graves in it. I know this isnt the one Della Reagan did because there are a lot of the Hill family buried in this one and she doesnt have them on her list. Ken as for why Della Reagan has names you don't have or you have names she didn't have I have no answer for that.
