Tina,I doubt you'll find Samuel and Elizabeth (DeLancey) Hench buried in PA.Most of the evidence I've found indicates they died and are buried in OH, possibly Richland Co.Still haven't found the proof yet.
As you get into research on the Hench and Ickes families, you'll find numerous people by these surnames in Perry Co., PA.In fact Elizabeth's sister, Hannah Jane, married John Ickes in 1851 in Perry Co., and one of their cousins married George Ickes.Lots of intermarriages in these families, which makes it difficult to keep them straight.
Have you checked the cemetery records on the Perry Co. web page (U. S. GenWeb)?They may save you some time looking for your ancestors in the New Bloomfield Cemetery.You can access the web page on your browser (just type GenWeb and move from state to county to cemetery records).
Good luck in your research.
