    A Bit Of History About Early Settlers

    By B. F. M. MacPHERSON

    The Morrison -- Buchanan family

    The historical and genealogical study of Black's graveyard (Upper Marsh
    Creek Presbyterian), located in Cumberland Township, this County, just
    off the Mummasburg Road, is continued at this time.

    As stated before in this series on Black's graveyard, beginning after
    the congregation moved to its first location in Gettysburg, many families
    began removing their dead other burial grounds. This movement, gained
    impetus when the Evergreen Cemetery was opened in 1854. Among these were
    members of the Buchanan and Smith families, who are related to the
    Morrison's, and were originally buried with them (tradition states that
    were buried together) in Black's graveyard. Robert, the son of Walter
    and Elizabeth (Buchanan) Smith, moved the bones and monument of his
    ancestors from the old, neglected burial ground into the Evergreen
    Cemetery (area A.). At one time this plot was enclosed by an old hand
    wrought iron fence but in recent years this has disappeared. Three of the
    stones, those marking the graves of the Buchanan's, are the large, flat,
    black slate stones, covering an entire graves, with the Buchanan coat-of-arms
    cut thereon. [The McConaughy's, who are also related, were moved at the same time.]
