RE: SPRING MEADOW QUAKER CEMETERY - Route 56 - Pleasantville, PA My distant grandmother Rebecca Ross Barefoot is buried in the above referenced cemetery. Since I don't have any indication that she was a QUAKER, could someone tell me whether or not this cemetery was restricted to practicing Quakers, or could anyone be buried there? Oral family history states Rebecca's son is buried beside her but I don't recollect seeing any proof of this. Any information regarding this cemetery or of BAREFOOTS appearing in any of the QUAKER monthly meeting minutes would be appreciated. Thanks! Sharon

HOLLINSHEAD, MELLOTT, TRUAX, CHILDS, AKERS Researching descendants of James HOLLINSHEAD (circa July 1755, MD - 22 Feb 1845, Bedford Co., PA). His wife's name is unknown. James was a Revolutionary War soldier from the Needmore area of Bedford Co., PA. Many of his descendants were members of the Sideling Hill Primitive Baptist Church. He had eight proven children: Psyche "Sycha," wife of Obediah MELLOTT, Nancy, wife of Jacob TRUAX, John, who married Lydia CHILDS, Sarah, wife of Ralph AKERS, Richard, whose wife was Catharine, Joseph, Benjamin, and James, Jr., whose wife was Mary MELLOTT.

Many stayed in Bedford and Fulton Counties and intermarried, and they are very difficult to sort out. I would love to hear from anyone who is researching any of these people.
