There are no cemeteries in Tyrone. Although they may appear to be located in Tyrone, the cemeteries are actually located in Snyder Township, Blair County. ----- Original Message ----- From: <POLARIS4@aol.com> To: <PAHUNTIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 7:12 AM Subject: [PAHUNTIN] Tyrone Cemeteries > Hi, > > I also would be interested in any information on records for Tyrone > Cemeteries.

Bonnie, I know that the Blair County Genealogical Society has published a volume containing burial records from Grandview Cemetery in Tyrone, which is quite large. They've also published a book of cemeteries from Tyrone Township, Blair County. [The borough of Tyrone is actually in Snyder Twp., but Tyrone Twp. is nearby.] There are also a few graves on the Plummer farm on Brush(?) Mountain, which is near Tyrone. Additionally, I know that St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Tyrone has some records for the Oak Grove Cemetery, just outside of town. I hope this helps.

Anyone researching KOUGH? I have a Kough Bible, purchased from an online dealer, that lists the initials and birth dates for the Edmond Kough family. I believe Edmond may have been a brother to Washington (1832-1913) and Alexander Kough, sons of George Kough and Phoebe Chambers. The family record lists Edmond born 19 December 1835, M. A. born 27 May 1836, J. W. born 8 Sept 1856, B. J. born 9 September 1858, J. (or I) B. born 19 October 1860, M. E. born 29 April 1863, S. A. born 30 October 1865, M. A. born 1867. I believe this Bible belonged to this family listed on the 1870 CENSUS, CLEARFIELD CO., Beccaria Twp., : Edmund B. Kough, age 34, Jacob W. 14, Barbara 11, Oretta B. 10, Mary E. 7, Sarah A. 5, Martha A. 3 and a housekeeper, Harriett Smith 25 and her two sons, Andrew W. 8 and David 5. Records in the Coalport, PA Library of the Crossroads Cemetery, Beccaria Township lists Mary Kough, wife of E. B., died 28 September 1869. Also recorded in the Bible - " E. B. Kough married Caroline Grumian in Clay Twp. 2 March 1876. Witness J. Wagoner, Eli E. Shore, J.P." The 1880 CENSUS, HUNTINGDON CO., Clay Twp., E.D. 203, page 349A lists E. B. Kough 45; wife Carrie Kough 38; stepsons, David Griman 14 and Wesley Griman 13; his daughter, Alice 11; their daughter, Ella 1 and son William 3 months. Would like to exchange information with anyone interested. Barbara Kough

Hi, I also would be interested in any information on records for Tyrone Cemeteries. Thank you. Bonnie

>from Steve Kemp. If you give me the names I'll look in a partial transcription of the 1870 ceneus at HCHS library. Apart from that, I don't know what's the problem. Graysville is in Franklin Township and much closer to Ferguson Twp of Centre County than to any other location of Huntingdon County. Neff's Mills is NOT in Franklin Twp., but in West Twp. near the line with Barree. The Franklin Twp. census should show a lot of iron related occupations, people working at Colerain Forge, Pennsylvania Furnace, etc. There is also an old name for the part of Spruce Creek Village in Morris Twp. at this time, Graysport. And probably other villages named Graysville existed in other counties. Hope this makes sense to you. > >============================== >To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go >to: >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

Dottie, Do you have any information on Mary Love? My g-g-g-grandmother was called Margaret Love and was probably from Huntingdon Co. She was born April 20, 1797 of unknown parents. She married on July 10, 1817 to Alexander Buchanan of Mifflin Co. They had 10 children: Ann, Jane, William, Alexander, John Moore, Evans R., Sarah Louisa, Margaret Catherine, Isabelle Oliver and Francis Marion. The family moved to Ohio about 1830, living primarily in Perry and Pickaway Counties before moving on to Wapello Co. Iowa about 1855. Alexander died around 1862 and Margaret lived until about 1885. I don't have exact dates for them. If any of this sounds familiar I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you, Rachel A.

If Catharine is a descendant of Robert Wasson (1750), she could be a granddaughter of his and a daughter of one of the following male children, except for (8) Robert (born in 1783) who went to Ohio in the War of 1812 and didn't return. That leaves 4 males in Pennsylvania who might be her father: (9) David born (date?) in Huntingdon County, PA, died January 14, 1859 in Centre Co., PA. No information on a wife or children.

Would anyone be able to help me better understand the following location descriptions: 1767 Cumberland Co. was divided into six townships Two of the twps were Bedford and Barre Africa's History of Huntingdon and Blair Counties says: Bedford: "Bounded by the the above-mentioned(above Bedford is listed Cumberland:"Bounded by Coleraine township(as above), the provincial line to the Allegeney Mountain to the top of the ridge that divides the waters of Wills Creek; from thence of Juniata to strike Dunning's Mountain through Lun's Gap")east line and Dunning's Mountain to the gap of Morrison's Cove, and from thence to the top of Tussee's Mountain(joining Barre Township) so as to include Morrison's Cove, and from the end of Morrison's cove cross by Frankstown to the Allegheny." Barre: "Bounded by Dublin, Coleraine, and Bedford townships, as already mentioned, and along the Allegany until a line struck from thence to Jack's Mountain so as to include the waters of Little Juniata and Shaver's and Standing Stone Creeks." The reason I am interested in better understanding where Bedford and Barre twps of Cumberland were exactly located is that after 1771 when Bedford Co. was erected from Cumberland Co., in 1775 Frankstown Twp of Bedford Co. was formed, and per Africa "from parts of Bedford and Barre and the boundaries fixed as follows: "Along the line dividing Bedford and Northumberland Counties from the West Branch of Susquehanna to where Little Juniata runs through Tussey's Mountain; then along the said mountain to the ridge dividing Morrison's Cove from Croyle's Cove; then along the said ridge to Dunning's Mountain; then along Dunning's Mountain to the dividing ridge between the waters of Dunnings' Creek and the southwest branch of Frankstown Branch; then along said ridge to the Allegeny Mountain; then cross the same and by the line of Quemahoning township to the line dividing Bedford and Westmoreland Counties, and by the said line and along the limits of this county to the place of beginning. This township included the whole of Blair County and the present townships of Morris, Franklin, and Warrior's Mark of Huntingdon County." So, I was thinking to better trace ancestors that were in the area of the present Tyrone, Morris, and Catharine townships(Morris and Catharine formed from Tyrone, and Tyrone formed from Frankstown), I should go back to some Bedford and Barre Twp, Cumberland Co. records. Thanks for any help on all this! Anne
