Ancestry.com has just made available a number of transcribed cemeteries, one being Cambridge, Guernsey, Ohio's old cemetery, which has a wealth of information on some of the tombstones. we have no Brit's in Cambridge, but my fiance's family was from there and I noticed some great tombstones with information on them that may help someone else. I'm transcribing them verbatum so nothing's left out, and I've listed family associated with them, whether born in England or U.S.....anyone who wants to take the time and trouble to post these to the various county lists, is welcome to...I am under the weather at this time so am just posting them in the emmigration list.
remember, they are buried in Cambridge, and one assumes they died there...

settled in Cambridge Jul 1806

I don't know if these people are related to Thomas Sarchet, no data is listed, just their names on one stone, and I don't know if the stone is near Thomas's stone;
Ann Sarchett, Rachel M. Sarchett, James Bichard
there may be others, but if so, their places of birth were not listed.
one person who's place of birth was not listed died in 1826, aged 107 years. his name was Thomas Bell.
sadly, none of my fiance's people are listed, though they were there from around 1810-1870...maybe they were buried on the farm just outside of the city limits at the time...
