I have a list of West Laurel Hills Cemetery burials for a large family group containing related names.
I am trying to track the relationship of the Jacob Redifer (d 1858 at 68) who shares a single tombstone with Jacob and Margaretha Neff and who are surrounded by the Phy, Thomas, Smiths in that cemetery at the Philly-Montgomery County line. I descend from other Redifers in that cemetery elsewhere (and their ancestors in nearby Mount Peace Cemetery) and I am trying to ascertain what, if any, connection there is in this Phy-Smith-Thomas-Redifer-neff group to the Redifers of nearby Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.
I similarly have just discovered a "Jacob Redifer Smith" burial of 1904 in Ardmore PA's St. Paul's Lutheran where I also find buried John-Sally Phy and many other Smiths.
Do you have more of a sense of these connections?
