Meritt - Buckbee Burial Ground (2)
This is a separate burial ground from the one above and no remnants
can be found.
Located on Croft Hollow Road, Farmington Twp., Tioga Co., PA
This Cemetery was recorded by Rev. Victor C. Detty in 1944. At
this time we have not located it. The Church was torn down long ago,
so this makes it harder to determine the location of this Cemetery.
This would be the M.E. Church.
This is what Rev. Detty wrote – A child of Josiah H. and Mary Ann Merritt
Foster is buried in the old and abandoned cemetery located in a pasture
about 100 yards North the Farmington Methodist Church. The marble
stone, found lying flat, has this inscription – “Jane Maria, daughter of
Josiah and Mary Ann Foster, died Sept. 15, 1852, aged 4 years and 17 days”.
This land, now owned by Fred Ackert, was once possessed by Hiram Merritt,
four of whose children’s names are on stones found there. Hiram Merritt
married Mary Ann Foster, according to their niece, Mary Merritt Hall
of Osceola, PA.
The inscriptions on the stones are: Sarah, daughter of Hiram &
Mary Merit, died July 10, 1852, ae 4y-10m-12d; Mary Ann, daughter of Hiram
and Mary A. Merit, died June 23, 1856, ae 1y-7m-23d; Charles, son
of H. & M.A. Meritt, died July 31, 1864, aged 22y-3m-11d.
In addition to these four inscriptions there are two others on marble
stones: Temperance E., wife of T.T. Mann, died Sept. 5, 1858, age
40 y-5m-7d; (Stone broken), only daughrer of Henry and Mary E. Hall, died
May 1, 1852, aged 7y-10m-16d. Rhodes Hall had a brother Henry C.
Note from Joyce: Both Meritt and Merit as well as Merritt, are common
spellings of this name.
