I am just back from NJ where I had 2 days of research time. I went to the
Cokesbury United Methodist Cemetery (1815 - 1892) and found my ancesters'
graves. The stones were very hard to read, but as luck would have it I found the
minister in and he had a book which had the inscriptions that were done in 1988
by Chris Cox, for an Eagle Scout project.
First of all, thanks to Chris if anyone knows of him...
I got a copy of the page with my relatives but the rest are in a notebook at
the church. There were many Apgars that I saw and on the page I got are
Philhower - Elizabeth, d 1864, Charity d 1821, Fanny d 1835, Andrew d 1843, Lydia
d 1842 (in italics all children), Apgar, John W. d 1878, Apgar, Hannah d 1817,
along with my relatives:
Potter, Daniel d 1860, Potter, Elizabeth (Abel, I believe) d 1842,
Potter, Hannah (Sutton, I believe) d 1850, and Potter, Daniel d 1856. Email me if
you need more info on these, I have a little more.
I am trying to call the historian of the church as the minister is quite
busy and he was kind enough to give me her number. If I should get her and get
any other info, I would be glad to share with the group. If anyone has any
ideas on getting this info out, please let me know. And if its already out and
I just went through the long way of researching, please let me know that also,
I can learn from my mistakes.
I did find the Potter grave inscriptions by Chris Cox 2 yrs ago at the
Tewksbury Historical Society. They were in the Potter file, so maybe some of them
can be found there also.
This is a great group and I would be happy to contribute in some small
way...
