If other surnames appeared on the same marker, they were copied as well. Here are the inscriptions as we saw them. I want everyone to keep in mind that some of these stones were new, meaning someone along the line had transcribed them and etched them into a new stone. Also some of the older stones had a mix of German and English on the markers, making it more difficult to understand there true story. If there are discrepancies between the information I am about to post against what the information you have, remember to weight the sources accordingly, head stones, though a good source of information are not primary sources and therefore are subject to be wrong. Things get etched wrong, or the information is wrong to begin with. Also with weathering of the stones and sinking of the stones, it can make numbers and letters change to make it say something completely different. I hope this helps at least one other person. Sincerely, James Austin Evanson Southampton, Bucks, Pennsylvania
