Hi David, I don't think there is an easy way to confirm what Stacy Wood has written without checking the Moravian Burial Book. None the less, I'd be pretty confident Stacy didn't make a mistake. He was doing a clock book and didn't have to know where Gottlieb was buried so the fact that he mentions it suggests that he actually saw it. In addition Stacy lives in Lancaster and so would have had easy access to the Moravian Burial Book. Probablility is an import part of genealogy and we'd expect someone who was a Moravian in Lancaster to be buried at the Moravian burial ground in Lancaster. We wouldn't expect him to be buried at a Mennonite cemetery in Lititz, I'm not sure there is even a Mennonite cemetery in Lititiz. Mennonites were primarily a rural population, it wasn't until the 1870s that there was even a Mennonite Church in Lancaster. It strikes me as likely that the person who said he was buried at a Mennonite Church in Lititz confused Mennonites and Moravians, this is a pretty common mistake to people who are unfamiliar with these groups. I would assume that what Stacy wrote was correct but write to the Lancaster County Historical Society and have them check the Moravian Burial Book for you. I should mention that I know Stacy Wood, he and I are distant Stokes cousins, but his track record shows him to be a good researcher.

Some of the initial responses indicated that Gottlieb was buried in the Mennonite Cemetery in Lititz......this inspite of the fact that the EBERMAN family was Moravian. Later responses suggested that Gottlieb was buried in the Moravian Cemetery in Lancaster referencing the Moravian Church Burial Book........which was referenced on numerous occasions by Stacy Wood in his writings. I guess I am still a little confused. Was Gottlieb, a Moravian, buried in a Mennonite Cemetery in the Lititz area or was he buried in the Moravian Cemetery (Lancaster Moravian Graveyard) in Lancaster? The latter seems more logical, but I am not sure. And, if he was buried in the Lancaster Moravian Graveyard (corner of West Orange and Market Streets) were his remains moved to the Greenwood Cemetery when the Lancaster Moravian Graveyard was removed in 1916/1917? Based on what I have been able to find out to date transcriptions were not recorded before the destruction of the Moravian Graveyard, but apparently William F. Worner reconstructed who was buried there through "Plan of Burying Ground, 1836"; Moravian Archives, Bethleham; and the Lancaster Moravian Church's Burial Book........all of which I do not have available to me here in North Carolina. Any additional help in reaching a final determination would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
