Dear Listers: I myself, when I lived in the Philly area visited Leverington Cemetery many times to no avail. I've tried several ways to get info on who was buried there. I'm told 1/2 of the listings are held by the Roxborough Church but have since found out that they only have the listing for the very old portion on the cemetery. Supposedly there is a groundskeeper who has another part of the listing but I've never been able to contact this guy. Another portion of the list of the buried was I believe lost in a fire. I have been working on making up a list for everyone who had a obit in the Philadelphia Inquirer which lists Leverington as their interment place. I have so far posted burials from 1864 up until 1899. Don't get too excited though as there weren't many before 1890. Each year there are more and more so it's taking me longer and longer as I have to read each obit listed. Anyway, if you would like to view the list go to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dynamo53/Manayunk/manayunkfamilies.html But keep in mind, many people did not have obits back then and some who did have "interment private"with no cemetery mentioned. There are about 400 names so far I believe. If you want to have your relatives listed on this site please send me the info and I will be glad to include it. I have listed this like this: last name, first name, date of death, age, and other info such as husband,wife, child of. Good luck.
