Yes, I have an Elizabeth Ann Wise, born in January 1830 and died July 7, 1901 in Fulton County, PA. She married Robert Albert Kerns (1830-1909). They were married on Feb. 14, 1852 in Cumberland, MD. They lived in the Hancock area early-on, but settled in Bethel Township of Fulton County, on or near the MD/PA State line. You will find them on the 1900 US Census for Fulton County, Bethel Twnshp, Family # 31. Am told that they lived in Pennsylvania because of their sympathy for the Union side of the War. Robert served in a PA military unit. Wilmer L.

The Berkeley County Historical Society has published 4 cemetery Books. The first one was published about 1990. The society used WPA records and cemetery readings. It is titled Cemeteries of Martinsburg and Berkeley Co. WV. In about 2004 the society decided to visit and read all the cemeteries in the county to look for new graves and corrections. There were too many for a separate volume so it was decided to publish 3 volumes. They were divided by districts. They are called Cemeteries of Berkeley Co. WV - vol.1; Arden, Gerrardstown, & Mill Creek districts - vol 2; Falling Waters, Hedgesville & Martinsburg districts - vol. 3; Opequon district. They can be obtained from the Beckley County Historical Society in Martinsburg. 304-267-4713, PO box 1624, Martinsburg, WV 25402, 136 E.

Found a headstone in Tomahawk Cemetery, Hedgesville, WV dated Mar. 24, 1811 with the initials I.K. Can someone help me determine who this might be? There is also a symbol on it that I'd like help determing what it might mean. The stone was buried vertically all the way up to the top edge. Dug it out today. Exciting find for me. ------------ NOTE: Only "K" listed in Cemetery listings are for; 1 for Kennedy, Jane -1930 wife of D. Rest are for KITCHEN...none with initials I-K.. Maybe birthdate 1811? 2 for Kursey,Frances V. 1912 & Thos.H June1888-Mar1889. Sorry, Pictures are not forwarded in the Rootsweb site can't see anything to help. BudinFL
