This cemetery is on private property of Pennsylvania Power & Light. Tombstones are not accessible to the public as they are padlocked behind a tall chainlink fence. This cemetery is just off of Pleasure Road (previously Grofftown Road) in Manheim Township, at the edge of Lancaster City near the Conestoga River, on what was the family farm during the time of the Revolutionary War. The cemetery had been all but forgotten and nearly was destroyed during the building of the route 23/30 extension into Lancaster city and the subsequent move of existing power lines. The cemetery was restored to its present condition thanks to the efforts of the Rudisill Family Association who rededicated the cemetery in 2004 and placed the bronze plaque found in the cemetery. Ground penetrating radar done as part of the restoration efforts showed 8 graves. Only 4 headstones have been found. The four unmarked burials are believed to be: Philip Heinrich Rudisill 1697-1755, Susanna Beyer Rudisill 1705-1768, Susanna Catharina Rudisill 1750-1758, and Susanna Schreiner Rudisill 1785-1842.
