I have been working on my wife's fami ies for over 15 years and I am trying to put any loose ends together. My problem now is her 5th great grandfather, Abraham Parnal. He was one of the first residents of South Gower and he died in 1846. His wife died around that year and also one of his daughters name Sarah (Parnal) Gray. They were not burried in the South Gower Cemetery but I think that I have traced them to a Presbyterian church Graveyard, Concession 4, Lot 7, That is where a Presbyterian church was built in 1820. Where there is a old church there normally is a graveyard.
All the locals are too young to remember a church let alone a graveyard. You have identified an abandoned cemetery on Bedell and the 2 churches were built at the same time. After looking at the pictures of the Bedel site, I can see where a church would go and a grave site. Your help would be appreciated, Don
