Gregory,
I did have these directions, but can't find them. You should be aware that
the cemetery, as such, can no longer be located specifically. The land was
turned for farm use many years ago and the specific burial locations are no
longer known. The only two stones remaining were for some time stored in a
shed on the property. These are the stones of Christian Henrich and his wife
Margaret. A friend of mine (also a Henrich descendant) found the farmhouse a
few years ago and took pictures of the house which is the same home Christian
built in 1760. At that time, the two tombstones were being used by the
current owner as a foundation for their beehive. I have a picture of the
beehive sitting on the stones. You can tell they are tombstones but the
inscriptions are obscured by the hive. If no one sends you the directions,
let me know and I'll try to contact the researcher who went there.
