Jim: The name sounds German. It will be a lot easier to trace if it is. I think the early Presbyterians were scotch/irish. I will check my records tonight and see if I can locate him. I may have to go to the library because i don't think I have anything for Washington Township at home, but I will look anyway. Maybe he lived somewhere else before he moved to Washington Township. I am not familiar with the names of the cemeteries in Washington Township, but I can find out easily. I will get back to you.
