Hello Listers - Sylvanus Twist is my gr-gr-grandfather. He moved to Richfield Twsp. (I realize this is Adams County) presumably shortly after 1855 and supposedly died Jan. 25, 1861. Some of my cousins and I are attempting to discover where he - and his older brother, Henry - are buried, one of the main problems being that one descendant has claimed that "there were no markers placed on the graves and no record kept..." He also states that both gentlemen were "buried in a little country cemetery in Richfield Township in Adams Co." Another source claims that somewhere in Hamilton County, MO, where his wife is buried (she survived him by some 25 years and went to live with married children at some point after his death), there is a notation that Sylvanus is "resting at Coloma, Wis." I plan to get in touch with the respective Township Clerks to check on burial records (despite the above comment that none was kept) but thought I would also post this to the Waushara list, since we have had no success as yet in Adams County, in the hopes that someone might know something or be able to suggest where I could turn next for help. Is there a Historical Society that might throw some light on this? Any snippet of help would be appreciated. Carol in Beautiful British Columbia
