    1. OKinder, Thank you so much for the information. Do you have a copy of it or know where I can find it? I did find about the Mellenville Cemetery. His wife bought the plots where several of the family is buried. I don't think he has a headstone or at least the person who looked at it for me didn't mention him. Thank you for responding. I would love to work with you further. Jodi
