i. Neshannock U. P. Cemetery, New Wilmington, PA
[NOTE: There is no tombstone or burial record for him at
Neshannock U. P. Cemetery, and I believe he is buried
at Shenango U. P. Church Cemetery with his wife Dorcas.
The confusion may have arisen from the Shenango
cemetery's occasionally having been referred to in the
past as the old Neshannock cemetery.]
