Checked into the "Snyder County Pioneers" by Dr. Fisher - he says that the "Morr's" church is named for Andrew Moor, Sr and Jr. who were instrumental in its founding (in 1770 Andrew Moor, Sr. along with Peter Straub and Casper Roush bought a tract of land from a man named Ort, located in what is now Washington Co., east of Freeburg, and made application for a church and school. There is a Keiser's Lutheran and Reformed church located close to Verdilla in what is now Union Twp., Snyder Co., where some of the early (1801) Keiser family members are buried. These are descendents of Jacob Keiser (Keyser, Kiser, Kaiser, Kayser) emigrated to PA in 1751 from Germany, settled in Union Twp., Snyder Co. before 1790, prior to moving on to Cumberland Co. The info on the Keiser family Jacob, Sr. , Michael Keiser (1772-1825) and Jacob Keiser (1787-1829) also comes from the Fisher book, "Snyder Co. Pioneers". Hope this helps!

I am wondering if the name "Morr" refers to the Jacob J. Morr estate which lies due east of Freeburg. This tract was 222 acres in 1830 when my ancestor, Solomon Keyser (Keiser) bought it from Jacob J. Morr and his wife, Mary. Solomon lived on the land for 2 or 3 years before he left for Ohio. Apparently the land somehow reverted to "J. J. Morr" because it shows this name on the 1868 Atlas of Union & Snyder Counties. My interest is that Solomon's father, Peter Keiser, Jr., may have died during this period and I am searching for his burial site. If the Zion Church cemetery is, in fact, located on this 222 acre tract, I might expect to find him buried there. A listing of burial names in this cemetery would be of great help. Thanks.
