Hello Bonnie,
Since your last visit, the "old section" of the cemetery is still in pretty good shape. I've emailed you in the past, but never received a response from you.
I descend from Jacob and Juliann LABAR HOWEY. My gg grandmother was Catharine HOWEY who was married to Samuel
Walton-Stroudsburg
I. William Walton, ancestor of the Stroudburg branch, was born in
Moreland twp. Phila., Co, now Montgomery Co, about 1735. He died about
1783 in Bucks or Montgomery Co, about 1783. He was supposed to have been
a grandson of Thomas Walton, 2nd of the four brothers who settled in
Byberry in 1687 and his wf Priscilla Hunn. William married Elisabeth
Wells, 4m 24, 1758. On a genealogical chart prepared by one of his
descendants we have the names of his children given below. It is
probable, how

I am searching for John REED, born 1816/17 in Pennsylvania. He married
Elizabeth HOPPER and appears on the 1850-1880 Lewistown, Mifflin County, PA
censuses. I am searching for the "needle in the haystack"--he was born
somewhere in PA, but probably not in Mifflin.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sharon, Sharon_ra@msn.com

I'm preparing a DAR application, and am stumped in trying to connect Joseph Lee b 1797 who m. Margaret Bush, with his parents Ebenezer Lee b abt 1765 and Sarah Anna Smiley Lee. They were in Monroe Co. as early settlers, according to what I can find. . I can't locate documentation that positively shows their lineage. That is the only thing needed, would be grateful if someone could help to document Ebenezer and Sarah's children.

I want to say that I don't put up sources because I have told that
another board copies this "stuff" and charges. I don't think anyone
should charge for what I put up. If I put something up and you make a
hit, just write me off board and I will give the info. And if you don't
want to write me, so be it.
Best Wishes, Geri
This cemetery is in Pike county .
