John LEIDIGH is buried at 1st Ev. Luth. church, Chambersburg. His
stone is unreadable except for his name and the word "memory" at the top
[presumably "in memory".]
Is there an earlier list of readings of the FELC, CHAMBERSURG
graveyard in which more information is recorded? If so, would someone be so kind as
to relay that?

Here are the Monns and Mohns. Thank you for the opportunity to help you with this. Solomon's mother was a Secrist so my husband is related that way. And one of the Monn's wives is a Reesman so he is relate there, too. The connections are through his mother, a Shockey.

Lloyd A. Gordon, son of A. T. Gordon, of town [Greencastle], was unanimously elected mayor of the city of Ottumwa, Iowa, last Thursday. In speaking of his election the Ottumwa Daily Courier gives this brief sketch of Mr. Gordon:

This is apparently a 1792 indenture for a mill in Lurgan Township

Hi,
I have ancestors who settled near Greencastle and I'm wondering how the
French & Indian War
would have impacted them. How close to the fighting would they have
been? It's of interest as
my direct ancestor had his children during that period. It's hard to
fathom how dangerous it was
without throwing in the complication of childbirth.

Dear Nancy,
I'm truly not an expert, but this is how I understand it. All males of a
certain age were expected to serve in the army or local militia. There were
the regulars who were recruited and volunteered to serve in the army. They
served in various units in the organized army such as regiments, companies,
etc. They were paid with IOU's as the country didn't have any cash. The
rest of the males were required to serve with the local militia to defend
the local home front and serve as a source of regul
The Old Forge Graveyard is located in Quincy township, Franklin County, Penna. It is about 500 yards behind the Waynesboro Fish and Game building on the Fish and Game Road in Quincy township. This old grave yard had several names, it was known as Horn's graveyard at one time, for it was on the farm owned by Eli Horn. Later this farm was owned by Harve Pentz, and was known as the Pentz cemetery. Most records refer to it as the Old Forge graveyard. It is not known how many people are buried here, for the
In Wright's "Pa. Medical men in the Revolution", this John Leidigh is
attributed as being ' "Dr. John" born February 7, 1730, died May 8, 1817,
buried at First Evangelical Lutheran Churchyard, Chambersburg, Franklin Co., Pa.'
Although his actual grave location is not known, this information
appears at odds with other information which would place him in Lancaster Co.

I loved your family album. What a wonderful family.
I am interested in what you have on the Anspach line. I have a spreadsheet of land records in Coshocton Co Ohio which focusses on Anspach's which I would be happy to share.
In particular I need to know who is the father of Benjamin Anspach who purchased land in Coshocton Co Ohio in 1830 and moved to White Co Arkansas in 1833.
Thank you very much,
Suzi Smith

Is there a listing available online for the Burns Hill Cemetery in
Waynesboro. Also would like to locate a listing of those buried in the Old Forge

To the list:
Col. Benjamin Chambers and his wife Jane Williams Chambers granted land for
three churches in Chambersburg. A stipulation of the grants was that an
annual rent of one rose be paid in June.
On June 20th Zion church will commemorate its 226th year at Rose Rent service.
For the past few years, some of the descendants of the founders of the

The Gettysburg Times dated November 11, 1965 has a story on page one along
the left side of the paper about a Calimer man who was shot. The online paper
located through Ancestry site has most of this column cut off. The story
continues on page three and I can see all that. I would appreciate it if someone
who may have access to this particular paper could find out what page one says
an e-mail me.
Thanks

I don't mind if you send it on to that list. It is only the Calimers that are on it. There are still more Mohns, Pattersons and a Reesman on the list.
The complete list can be found at the PA Room in the Waynesboro Library and the FHC on Mentzer Gap & Old Forge Road. I would imagine Dean gave it to the Historical Society in Chambersburg, too. I typed from the copy I had borrowed from Ruth.

MY William Maxwell is on the Ancestry.com for 1820 as William MaNNell. I
know he had to be there because I traced him for several decades on the
Franklin Co taxes.
It appears his oldest son Solomon was born in MD in 1803.
There is a William Maxwell in Frederick Cc MD that has in his household a
male that could be MY William.
There are six families with DNA and family research in MD that suggest we
have a common ancestor born about 1750.
