    Page 141, under [376] Ephraim MIDDAGH (10th generation), s/o Dirck (9th generation). Ephraim MIDDAGH was born before 28 Aug 1768 in NJ. E. A. Gill's biography of Charles Wesley MIDDAUGH states Ephraim was 84 years old when he died in 1847 which would make his year of birth about 1763. He was christened 28 Aug 1768 in the Neshanic (NJ) DRC. Ephraim died 17 Feb 1847 in Sugar Creek, Tuscarawas, OH, and was buried in Henry Miller's Cemetery, Shanesville, OH. The records of the Dutch Reformed Church at Conewago, PA, indicate Ephraim joined the Dutch families from Sussex and Somerset Counties who emigrated to Conewago. The settlement was more or less abandoned by the Dutch by 1785-95. Some emigrated to Kentucky, others to the Finger Lake area of New York and others just scattered mainly to the West. Attempting to trace the movements of individuals or families thru census data is both difficult and the results suspect. In Ephraim's case some letters and bible records seem to indicate he left Conewago and went first to the Somerset County area of Pennsylvania and from there to Sugar Creek Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The census records appear to support this emigration by Ephraim. His descendants and lineage are based on the above, a historical sketch written by William C. Baker on 2/14/1915 with bible records and family group sheets attached (see LDS microfilm #1705343) and a biography of one of his grandsons, Charles Wesley Middaugh, written by E. A. Gill. He married Lydia HATTRAY. Marriage based on Conewago DRC records and Mr. Baker's letter of 2/14/1915. She was born about 1771 in New Jersey. Lydia died Oct 1836 in Sugar Creek, Tuscarawas, OH, and was buried in Henry Miller's Cemetery, Shanesville, OH. The family group sheets attached to the W.C. Baker memorandum indicate Lydia's surname was HUNTER not HATTRAY. They had 10 children...[Richard, Ephraim, Lydia, Polly, Joseph, James, Andrew, Anna, Isaac, and George].

    I searched the entire cemetery and could not find the grave
    Details: I took photos of all readable grave stones today (4 May 2013). Do not believe it included yours. Many graves do not have stones or just have a blank marker stone.

    Please note that there are several Miller and Yoder cemeteries in the area and many graves with only marker stones in the ground w/o any inscription.
