Perry Township, Greene County, PA. On a hill overlooking Big Shannon Run, there is a cemetery. In that cemetery is a grave marker and on that grave marker is the name Barbara McLaughlin or Laughlin, died 1844. This is presumed to the McLaughlin / Laughlin Cemetery. However, Caleb Davison, my GG Uncle, is also buried in the same cemetery...1899, no grave marker but Greene County Records show him buried in 1899, in Shannon Run Colored Cemetery.
There are several broken stones in the cemetery.
Also, it is quite possible that the same general area is the site of Fort Province from before 1800 it would seem.
There was a black man named Henry Laughlin in the County census in the mid to late 1800's. Any connection to Barbara is not known. I am looking for anyone who might be able to solve this little mystery.
