b ~ 1748 Killyleagh, County Down, IRELAND
d ~ 1832 Mossmantown, Mercer Co., PA
m ~1773 IRELAND to Sarah Brown
Sarah b 1750-1755 was d/o Hugh Brown (Killeaugh Presbyterian Church records D1759/1D/11)
My initial SOURCE for Mossman data is Kenneth Freeman Mosman's book LOC# 92-72125. OCLC=866549889. [Yes, Ken's surname is spelled with only one "s"] Page 82 has:
"Francis was probably buried on of near his farm, perhaps near his father's grave. The burial ground was surveyed, platted and named Rock Ridge Cemetery fifty-four years later on 25 Nov 1886 near what was once Mossmantown in Mercer Co. [PA], approximately six miles west of Greenville. Mossmantown once flourished there, but had disappeared by 1872. A search of Rock Ridge Cemetery by this compiler [=KFM] in 1987 yielded no stones to confirm that Francis and Sarah were buried there, nor did an earlier 1979 survey of the cemetery produce any evidence of a gravestone for either of them."
I appreciate Kenneth Freeman Mosman's work and personally believe Francis & Sarah Brown Mossman are buried in, or near, Rock Ridge Cemetery. If anyone out there has sourced information with a different location, PLEASE let us know.
