Chris, Good thought, about Kendall. I posted earlier the births and baptisms at the Jacobs Luthern Church in Masontown, German Township in Fayette County. Pa. This was in regards to the Shumans, but also one of the baptismal listings for the period of Pastor John Stauch was for the son Thomas born 27 November 1794 to the parents John Kindel and Elizabeth . Sponser was Thomas Kindel. The original records are located in the Thiel Luthern College Library in Greenville, Pa. They are probably in German. I wrote a letter to the College requesting additional information on burials and marraiges at the Church. I never did get a answer. Possibly any Shuman researchers that live nearby, might have better luck than I did. Also any Luthern members might be able to obtain the information. The births in the Shumans that I was able to was thru a retired Luthern Minister but he was going blind and was having problems with his research, so I have not bothered him since then. I still think our answers are in Pa, particularly Fayette County. Any other thoughts? PS there were numereous stones in the cemetery that were not readable. Bill Shuman Bill Shuman
