This is the paragraph from page 154 of "The History of Beaver County, Pennsylvania" that contains the description of the location of where my 4th gr-grandfather, Richard Roberts, is buried. His wife, Mary (Pettit) Roberts, and Levi and Mary Dungan are buried there as well. Richard Roberts died Jan 30, 1830. Mary (Pettit) Roberts died between 1840 and 1850. Levi Dungan died about 1825 and Mary Dungan arounf 1821.

Levi Dungan, according to the family records, died in 1825, and it is thought that his wife’s death was somewhat earlier. He (and probably also his wife) was buried in Brook, now Hancock, County, West Virginia, about five miles southwest of Frankfort Springs, Pa., and about one and a half miles west of the village of Paris, on King’s Creek. Near the spot a Baptist church was organized, of which Levi Dungan was an active member and an officer; and there stood also an old mill which is supposed to be the one which Wiseman and Langfitt had been at when, on their way home, they were attacked by the Indians, as related above. Richard Roberts, a Revolutionary soldier, the father of John Roberts (an uncle of Hon. Warren S. Dungan) and the grandfather of Colonel Richard P. Roberts, is buried here beside the Dungans. The locality may be identified for some of our readers by mention of the fact that a few years ago there lived in the neighborhood a man named Levi !
Standish.
