    3. Dear Ken, First of all - are you a Sharpless? - can't remember if I ever discussed that name with you or not. I'm a Sharpless but my direct line stayed in Ridley Creek area near Phila. & we branched off in to the Baldwin, Dell, Weaver etc. My Weaver came this way. - I have a copy of the Sharpless Genealogy here. Second - if I can think of where I might have put that Quaker Cemetery stuff I got from over at the PA Room in Uniontown will dig for it & share whatever you need with you. Third - you keep it to yourself but I own a copy of Della's cemeteries of Fayette County & I'm going to bring that upstairs when I have to go down to the office & see what's there on the Redstone stuff. Della & I were personal friends for many years before she died. There is Providence Meeting House but that is not the same one that is the Quaker one we seem to be talking about her. There is a sign on Rt. 51 going towards Uniontown on the right side of the road that points to going to that old cemetery. Here's what I know about it. The biggest percentage of the stones are missing & there were some really old stones and/or burials there. I know that some of the Crawford Family is buried there & they were extremely early in the area. A good rundown on them is in the History of Fayette County by Ellis. I worked on that line & a couple branches extensively for a friend/client of mine who lives in Mississippi a few years ago. If I can try to answer any of your questions let me know. However, we won't do it on the Fayette site. It's not that I won't share. It's just that right now in my life things are going to become a lot busier on a personal basis in the next couple months & extra time won't happen. Ellen (ETHS)
