  1. Hi,
    My name is Teresa Glenn. I am doing some genealogical searching for an ancestor of mine. His name is Joseph Stephenson and he is buried in your cemetery. I would like to know if there is any record of him in your church records. He was there from 1870-1875. He was a British immigrant and his wife’s name was Sophia. She is also buried there as well as other family members. Any records or information you might have would be helpful as I try to piece together his story.
    Thank you,
    Teresa
