St. George’s Anglican Church Cemetery Searching for Ancestral Families


  A number of years ago the cemetery was vandalized and out of the approximate 35 burials, only a handful of headstone are able to be restored. They are trying to locate family descendants. The identified headstones are:

1.  Evan and Sarah Lyndab Price

2.  Robert Price ( 1836 – 1872) – son of Evan and Sarah

3.  John Smith ( d. October 26, 1865) – he was also a People’s Warden at St. George’s in 1858

4.  Rebecca Smith (d.Sept. 1861) – wife of John Smith

5.  Joseph Shillington (d. May 10, 1858) – age 39

  • Abagail (b. 1856), d. June 17, 1858) – the inscription on the stone says “daughter of J & J Shillington” (Jane & Joseph Shiillington)

    • further research shows they had other children:

  • Mary Ann (b. approx 1846 or 47)  – Mary Ann actually married Robert Miller (of Esquesing) at St. George’s Church, Jan. 1863 and it shows his parents as Levi and Elizabeth Miller

             – James – not sure of exact date

             – William (b. December 29, 1854)

6. Mary Ann Corry ( 1864 ) her husband was John Corry

7. Charles Dade, Helen Dade and daughter Amy Dade – their headstone is fine but I doesn’t have any leads as to ancestors still living in the areaI
