Found citation which says his land was four fifths a mile east of Welsh Run. As I recall, someone indicated they had cemetery books. Would appreciate information on any Morrisons in West Conocheaque Presby Church or any cemeteries proximate to Welsh Run. Andrew and his ? Carson wife should be buried there. Andrew Morrison will 1804 (probable son of Andrew and ? Carson) as well as possibly William Morrison because the will indicates inheritance to the children of William Morrison. Also have found that there is an Andrew Morrison on the 1751 tax list for Peters Township. Thanks very much Josette Maxwell

Josette, I don't have access to cemetery records, but have you been in touch with http://conococheague.org/ ? They have all of the cemetery listings, the Palmer Papers, a list of land holdings in the area, and Fendrick papers which has ancestral documents recorded. Both have many Morrison's listed, including Andrew (10 times), and William ( 7 times) . They may have a family history on Morrison's. We stop there annually and they continue to add to their holdings, but most of all, they are very helpful and go out of their way to find what you need. Happy Hunting.

Your finding of 0.8 miles east of Welsh Run, the creek, not the town (the town was not there in the 1700s anyway) fits perfectly the position I have already told you. I believe this confirms the location of his land. Welsh Run was also north of his property, flowing eastward into the West Branch Conococheague Creek. A bit west of Welsh Run (town) the Run turns southward, making it west of Morrison land. There are two principal cemeteries in the immediate area, and perhaps untold number of tiny private cemeteries. The Welsh Run Presby (Robert Kennedy Memorial) Cemetery is in the present town of Welsh Run, as I previously noted. A mile or so west is the Bretheran Cemetery, along the same east-west road. The Conococheague Institute is located a mile or so south of the Bretheran Cemetery. Neither was a Seceder church, of course, as we have been noting in recent emails. However, as I previously noted, Andrew probably was not Seceder, and the Welsh Run Church was a few minutes by buggy north of his property. There is a c1775 listing of Welsh Run Church pew holders in some of the histories of the area, including my Fergus Moorhead. Most of the local families in this immediate area were on this listing of pew holders. I do not recall about Morrison. By the way, some of the adjacent earliest landowners (Warrantees) to Morrison property were Shelby, Smith, Mackey, Rankin, Flanagan, Davis, Andrews, Crawford, and others. The Davis' were the principal and the first landowners in the area, having about 1000 or so acres initially between several of them (principally John and Philip, but also Samuel). My Moorheads purchased the Rankin property in the late 1770s, sold it to the Buchanans about 1811 (two deeds of sale from the heirs). I second the findings of Rob Shinafelt in his email. The Institute has the best person for the job in Mary Hartman, who lives at their HQ. She was very generous in her help to me in the past. Do not ignore the Fendrick Library in Mercersburg, or the Historical Society in Chambersburg, nor the help you might find at the Cumberland County Historical Society or Courthouse, as this was Cumberland land about 1750 to 1784. By the way, Rob, is your surname Shinafelt the same as the John Shenefeld (various spellings) who owned numerous parcels of land on both sides of the West Branch, in this immediate area.
