My family also came from Preston County and lived in Wharton Twp., Fayette Co., Pa. Some of the names you list are familier but as far as I know are not related at this point. I may have a Rishel connection with Mary M. (Magdeline) born in VA., abt. 1818 and could be a daughter to John and Elizabeth (Dennis) Rishel. Have you a list of the persons buried at the Sandy Creek cemetery? My family name was HAUN then but changed to HONE by my ggrandfather Reizen (Rezin) HAUN. Perhaps you have seen the name somewhere in you research. Bye and good luck. Boyd
