The Pennsylvania archives has a survey map that perhaps reveals who donated the land for Blue Mountain Zion Church:
By virtue of an order from the Commissioners dated the 7th Day of March Anno Domini 1746, the above described tract of land was surveyed for Adam Sunday, Valentine Reintzell, and Jacob Rush in trust for the Reformed Lutheran Congregation in Tulpehocon Township in Lancaster County.
The adjoiners to the surveyed tract are Hans Thunder (Donder) to the north, Andreas Allebaugh to the east, Valentine Reintzell to the south, and vacant to the west. (The latter is especially interesting since it indicates Reintzell owned the land that was purchased by the contributor's Milliron ancestors in 1759.)
