I am looking for Hamilton Square Cemetery and Mt. Zion Cemetery. Specifically, I want to photograph Jacob Learn's (1758-1849) two wives' tombstones when I make my trip to the Poconos this summer. His first wife is supposedly in the Hamilton Square cemetery and the second may also be there or in the Mt. Zion cemetery with him. Thank you.
