Dan - For some years now a cousin and I have been trying to determine the burial place of our great-great-grandfather, Sylvanus Twist. Family story is that he and his eldest son were both buried in "a little country cemetery in Richfield Township in Adams Co....there were no markers placed on the graves and no record kept." This is from a letter from a relative to another relative, written in 1951. These persons are both deceased now. And I have often wondered about the comment that there were no records kept! There was reference just previous to this about a family Bible, so I don't know if the implication is that the family did not keep any record - I can't see that there wouldn't be some kind of official record. But I haven't located any funeral home that was operating back then - Sylvanus died January 25, 1861 as far as we know and son Henry about 1893-94. Would you know if there would have been cemetery deeds or a coroner's report in those days? I am aware of a number of cemeteries that probably fit the bill, but I don't recall having heard of White Cemetery. Does it fit the description above? And how did you go about locating your people there? I hope you can shed some light on this problem - it's my major brick wall!
