Mike - That would be great. I don't know much about the area at all - but I do know that from deeds and census records it appears that he lived somewhere near Jacob Crow. The Crow Cemetery is still there on what used to be Jacob Crow's land. I don't see the description of the location here exactly, but I remember it said it was near "pineridge" in Tell. There are Shoops buried there, I know - so it sounds like it might be the right farm. I appreciate your help.
