Hi Jane I have been working on a family of mine in East Hanover Twp. Lebaonon Co., and East Hanover Twp., Dauphin Co. I find that there was a large United Brethren influence in this area and United Brethren information is hard to come by. The Religious Telescope is on film at Lebanon Valley College but the college is no longer United Brethren related. The United Brethren data has been sent to Drew University in NJ near Madison. If you think that there might be a United Brethren connection then that might be a place to start. I was at Lebanon Valley College last week and found the two obits for my gggrandparents. I learned something that I had never known before. Elias Wenger of Washington Twp. Darke Co. OH died from injuries he received while taking a load of hay to market. With all of the years of the Elias Wenger reunions in Darke Co., this information was never passed on.
