Old Sonestown Cemetery June
2002 Beginning in June 2005, Rick Swartz offered to post pictures of selected tombstones and markers from this cemetery. These pictures are posted here and we are appreciative of Rick's efforts in this regard. You can read an overview of Rick's connections to the area at the foot of this page. We also post there a stone whose writing is undeciphered at this time; any help in its translation would be appreciated. |

Note from Rick Swartz
:
My mother's maiden name was Alberta Painton. She was born and raised in Sonestown, the daughter of George and Celia Phillips Painton. Most of my grandmother's family are from the North Mountain area, and are buried in Stone Heap Cemetery, and most of the Paintons are buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in Sonestown.
Although I was born and raised in Montoursville, I live in Arizona now A couple of years ago, I started doing the genealogy for my mother's side of the family. I have a lot of old family documents and countless old photographs. I'm going through them, trying to establish the lineage.
Before I rattle on too much more, I wanted to compliment you and all your colleagues on the fine job you have done establishing and maintaining the Sullivan County Rootsweb site. I was in Sonestown around the end of May, and took the pictures of the markers shown above (along with many others). I saw that there was a picture attached to one of the names on the transcribed list, and I got to wondering if you could do the same with these pictures. I am delighted that you could do so.
Just one other note on our family. There is a stone with the name, Hepsy Jane Rollison, 1812 - 1897. This lady was my great great great grandmother. Her maiden name was Hepzibah Jane Arnold. Joshua Rollison was actually her second husband. Her first husband was Selleck Weed. One of Hepsy and Selleck's children was a son named Henry. Henry married an English lady named Frances Barker. One of their children was a daughter named Jennie. Jennie married Monroe Painton, a son of Mary Jane and George Painton. One of Jennie and Monroe's sons was my grandfather, George Painton.
Sorry to have rattled on for so long. Again, congratulations on a wonderful website.
Thank You
