Is anyone on this list researching the surname KELSO?
I note that there are 14 KELSOs buried in the Bethel U.P. Church cemetery

There seemed to be a significant number of people from Lawrence County,

several KELSOs buried there. The oldest gravestone appears to be

I am wondering if he is the son of Jacob Shaffer b 1775 Germany d 1825 Lawrence, Pa.

Jacob's parents were Frederick & Sabina Shaffer b Germany, came to America 1785
