Hi I am unfamiliar with Pennsylvania records and would welcome some guidance. I am trying to trace the family of Alexander Moody from OH to PA - no hint where - but this family seems to "fit" Alexander Moody bought land on Two Mile Run in 1792, and sold it in 1795 In 1794 Mary, wife of Alexander Moody, was buried at the Binn-Moody cemetery, on Binn Rd in West Pike Run twp (I noted this from a website that is no longer available) What other records from pre 1800 Washington county exist that might have some information? Church records maybe And where would I be likely to find such records? Thank you for any help Judy
