Dear Kathy: There are only about 158 Cemeteries in the Franklin County area ! My record (If that is the correct word to use) Going to Friends and Family members funerals is 56 in one year ! that is an average of one funeral a week . Always go directly to the Cemetery office and they can check thier books or computer and give You information , Don't go to some lawn and shrub care person (caretaker) , Before You go to a Funeral Director call and make an appointment , The last thing You or Anyone should do is just show up You could end up disturbing a Funeral !

Hi All Glenn says the CD he has is great, Well thanks a bunch, Because it is the culmination of 10 years of typing 150 of Franklin Countys' 460 cemeteries. I put it on 3 computers, The Alexander Hamilton Memorial Free Library,Waynesboro; Coyle Library, Chambersburg and The Waynesboro Historical Society, Waynesboro. I did not know that by doing that, it made it public domain. I copied it from notebooks that are in The Alexander Hamilton Memorial Free Library, put there by Dean Calimer who over the past 35 years has put together these listings, along with Sam & Hilda Meisner, and about half a dozen others who tramped through all these cemeteries and copied tombstones, and looked through obituaries for hours and hours. Also funeral home listings are in there. So I hope you all enjoy it, as much as I do.

Thank you Glenn. Yes, John Stouffer and Hannah Price are well-documented in the 1926 George Wanger book "Descendants of Rev. Jacob Price/Preisz", as well as elsewhere. John was a son of Abraham Stouffer who built the mill at Falling Spring -- basically he was a founder of Chambersburg, PA, after the Revolution. Hannah was a daughter of Rev. Jacob Price, and a gg granddaughter of Rev. Jacob Preisz who was an immigrant and founder of the Church of the Brethren (German Baptist) in early Pennsylvania. Their graves are at the Brethren church at Falling Spring which I've visited and photographed. But, the parentage of the Smith men is a total mystery, at least to me. In the 1880 census, they both indicated their parents were born in Pennsylvania, so I believe they were raised there in Franklin County, or else nearby -- perhaps over in York. Unfortunately, in the 1820 and 1830 head of household censuses, there were multiple Smith families who had 2 males of the correct age, so I can't narrow it down with the censuses. The John Stouffer family were "Dunkers" -- German Baptists, apparently, although John's parents and most of the rest of the Stouffers were Mennonites. I think he went over to the Dunkers when he married Hannah Price, who was from that denomination. So their children were undoubtedly raised in the Dunker church. That makes me suspect that the two Smith men who married Elizabeth and Hannah may themselves have been of German background -- perhaps they were born Schmidts or something like that. William and Elizabeth later converted to United Brethren before or shortly after they migrated to Carroll County, Illinois. As far as I can tell, George and Hannah remained with the Dunkers -- they lived in Guilford Township and are reportedly buried at Marion. Because the German Baptists believe in adult baptism, there's not likely any early records of infant christenings, like you can find with Lutherans. Anyway, thank you for replying -- I appreciate the response. Don Donald L.

I'm still catching up on e-mail from last week.. >From: "Linda Gorman" <[email protected]> >Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 19:48:31 -0400 > >Hello Willie, I have a book by the title of "History of The Church of the >Brethren in Southern District of Pennyslvania." It was first published in >1941 and reprinted in 1966. I'm finally able to look at my notes at home. I thought that this was the same book that I found at the Kensington, MD Family History Center. But the one I found was "History of the Church of the Brethren of the *Eastern* District of Pennsylvania," copyright in 1915. I copied the information on Alexander Mack, since my ancestor, Wilhelmus Knepper, was one of his associates. Mack stayed in Germantown, PA, while Wilhelmus and his family moved a bit further west, into south-central PA. >Do you have any other names than Knepper to >look up? The names that I *didn't* expect to see on the registry for the ship "Allen" were Jorik and Anna Margaret Hoffert and their children. I'm fairly certain they're part of my Creager (Mom's maiden name) ancestors; the Kneppers are part of my Baker (grandmother Creager's maiden name) line. From the little bit I've found so far, the Hofferts settled in Frederick County, so I doubt they'd be listed in any of the Pennsylvania books. I guess I'll have to search for similar CoB histories for Maryland. >There is one Knepper family that I know of that attends the >Waynesboro Church of the Brethren. My aunt "Jenny," Virginia Creager Stover, and her husband "Shorty" (Darwin) attend there. My cousin, Lee Carson, was active in the music ministry there until her death about two or three years ago. >Also, >something to consider is that a significant number of Brethren settled in >Franklin County, Virginia in the mid 1700's! I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks. So far, I've only found folks in PA and MD, but you never know! "The Old German Baptist >Brethren" by Charles D. Thompson, Jr was just published in 2006 and has >tons >of names and history. Thanks, Linda! I'll have to look for that one. Peace, Willie

Thanks Hartmans! Unfortunately, I fear I'm the victim of my own bad information on this one. I was given that Vermont birth location for William Smith by a guy who said it was written in a family Bible, but I learned subsequently (after I submitted it to you guys) that it is bogus -- my William R. Smith who married Elizabeth Stouffer was NOT born in Vermont. So that bad info needs to come out of the database when your next opportunity comes up. And boy do I feel bad about having perpetuated bad info! I'm so sorry. The 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses all show William R. Smith born in Pennsylvania about 1814. 1880 indicates his parents were also born in Pennsylvania. George Smith's census data is exactly the same, except he was born about 1817 (I think the Price book shows the exact date for him). So it is entirely likely they were brothers -- but who were their parents? Thanks -- you guys are providing a wonderful service with your web site! Don Donald L.

Kathy: On my recent trip to Mercersburg I talked to two people who were knowledgeable about local cemeteries, one was the caretaker for Fairlawn Cemetery and the other was the local funeral director, both told me of two other cemeteries one was the old Seceder graveyard and the other also old was the Slate Hill cemetery. I have not heard of any others, except possible private burials on the farms.

Thank You SOOOooooooo Much Glenn, One of my Mercersburg Beck cousins , donated DNA to the Beck surname at Heritage , and I posted the results on several DNA databases , I got a 98% match on an Aquilla Beck born 1753 , Kent County , MD . Moved his Family to Rowan , NC about 1786 , where he died before 1840 . It was through one of his descendants of his son Samuel Beck ( Wayne Co., IN ) that matched my cousin by an almost identical match , meaning that they shared a common Ancestor within 3 Generations . I am trying to find out who the parents for Aquilla / Aquila ( Agnello on the NC census ) are ? and how / why , did my Ancestors go to Franklin Co., PA , when the rest of this family line seems to be everywhere but PA ? Also I am trying to find out where my GrGrGrGrandfather Jacob Beck is buried , and did he die in Franklin Co., or did he die in Miami , OH as the Burns Family info has , that he died 1848 in Miami , OH , then why are his wife and kids in Franklin Co., PA in 1850 , and it appears they were always there and never left ? Jacob Beck born 1801-1805 , wife Elizabeth ( I was told by the Burns Family that she was Mary Elizabeth Burns born 1804 ) But I have found most of their history on her to be wrong , as they have her as the daughter of Daniel Burns born Franklin Co., PA moved to Miami , OH about 1830 , from census records , she could have been his Sister , but not his daughter .

Glenn , I have contacted Funeral Directors , the only problem is , there are no records that go back far enough to help me out . Kathy --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail.

To clear up a previous post ; Hi Kathy, All of the names that I gave you the other day had the last name of Burns.No Beck names were found in either Cemetery.John Knox White was the only non Burns name in the small cem(Burns Farm family Cemetery)also know as Covenanter's Graveyard. Jeremiah Morrow Burns listed as (Bro) Died Oct.29,1895 was 74 Yrs.8 mo.11 da. from the large Burns Hill Cem. Sorry I was just trying to save time by putting the Burns name on the end.

I asked a relative in Mercersburg to find the Burns Cemetery , here is what she wrote ; Kathy, I found 2 Burns cemeterys,and they are both in Waynesboro,possibly 15 miles east of Mercersburg.One I think the one you refered to is a large, 13 acres, along Rt 16,I contains Jeremiah Morrow,James,Jean Downey and Richard F Burns. the other is call Burns farm family cem. is currently located in the Renfrew Museum grounds,and holds J.Culbertson(Brother),Sarah D/O Sarah and Jeremiah,Jeremiah and Sarah, Jane,d/o James and Rosannah Downey Burns,Francis,Margaret,Esther,and John Burns,also John Knox White. There is an article in todays Public opinion,at www.publicopiniononline.com about an old graveyard found in Montgomery Twp.(the Mercersburg area). _______________________________________________________ Does anyone know of this new found graveyard ? My Ancestors rented land in Montgomery Twp in 1820 , I have always suspected that it attached to the land bought in 1811 and the Mercersburg Farm ? I was told at one time Mercersburg was Montgomery Twp ? But I thought the original Twps were Antrim and Guliford ? Kathy --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Get on board.
