Earliest burial site

The earliest burial site that I have found where I can 100% accurately trace my ancestors back is Our Forefathers Mennonite Cemetary in Quakertown, PA. This is where my 6th great-grandfather Heinrich “Henry” Trumbauer was buried in 1813.

His headstone is extremely weathered and broken but the good news is that there is a book that can be viewed digitally on FamilySearch.org detailing the “History and Genealogy of the Trumbauer family: the primary object being the descendants of George Trumbauer, who settled in Frederick Township, Montgomery County, before 1734, and his son, Andrew Trumbauer, who settled in Milford Township.”

Someday I want to dig a little deeper into this branch of the family tree, but that will be a story for another time.
