In the message..... "My Great, Great, Grandmother was Rachel Yeisley (2June1821 - 4Jan1901) married to Jacob Hartman (28Aug1814 - 22Feb1872). They are burried in Centreville(now Penns Creek) cemetery in Snyder Co. PA. Also burried there is Rachel's brother Michael Yeisley (died 15May1905 - age abt. 86yrs) and his wife Maria (died 2Jan1888 - age abt. 67yrs.) Also buried there are 2 other Yeisleys of which I have no known connection: Henry (15Sept1780 - 28Apr1855) and Elizabeth (died 26Apr1864? - age abt. 78yrs) stones were hard to read"
I believe that Henry and Elizabeth are Michael and Rachel's parents based on the following:
The "Probate and Orphans Court Records of Snyder Co." page 76 indicates that a Henry Yeisley died in 1855, in Franklin Township.The children listed in this record were John, Catherine, Ludwig, Polly, Henry, Michael, Rachael, and Matilda.Henry and Matilda under 21.
I have additional information about Henry & Elizabeth if anyone is interested.
