Thomas Gibson (1723-1814) and Hannah Ring Gibson (1733-1810)

[teris1958]

Believe Thomas Gibson (1723-1814) and Hannah Ring Gibson (1733-1810) are grandparents.  Unable to locate where they are buried, however.  Death information for each says Connellsville, Fayette, Pennsylvania.  But nothing comes up as far as a cemetery.  Any suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks.

No answers, but some suggestions:
They were there pretty early. They might have been buried on private land. Do you know where their farm was?
----
One of their children, John E, is said to have died at Redstone, Fayette County. Can you find where he is buried? Was it a family plot? Where were the other children buried, if they died nearby?
-----
The Gibsons were Quaker. Were there Quaker cemeteries in the area that early? Is there a Quaker meeting house there now? Would they know where the Gibsons would have been buried?

I site-searched

and didn't see anything that looked good, but it might be worth your while to look through the lists.

I don't know if the site is currently active, there is a copyright 2019 on it, so maybe. Maybe someone there might be able to help.

Along the way I found this. Bad OCR but you can tell what it is saying

Thank you for the information.  I wondered about the Quaker link and as that might be a good direction to go.  But never thought about family land as the place where they might be buried.  And thank you also for the meeting notes.  Interesting!

Hello. I am a native of (and currently living in) Connellsville. I came across your query as I am doing some research on some Gibsons. There was a Quaker cemetery in Connellsville, the land having been donated by John Gibson. But as the Quaker population disappeared the land was sold and the graves were removed to Hill Grove Cemetery in 1901. I tried to find the plot where the newspaper article said the bodies were reinterred (along with the original gravestones) but had no success. A couple photos (Joshua Gibbs Gibson d. 1893 and Ellen Weaver Gibson, his wife, d.1885) show up on the site http://www.pagenweb.org/~fayette/headstones/index.html as being in Hill Grove. But I don't know if they continued as Quakers (Joshua was grandson of John) and were originally buried in the Quaker cemetery.
