- Born: 12 Jan 1789, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, USA 715,908,1026

Research Notes:
In the Lambertsville Cemetery is a modern tombstone, inscribed
MICHAEL GROVE died 1845
ELIZABETH wife of Michael
5 unknown graves reinter 1977
original site lat. 40 deg 3 min. 40 sec. long. 78 deg 54 min. 19 sec.
I believe that this Michael GROVE is the fifth child of George Michael GRAFF/GROFF/GROVE and Susanna AUGUSTINE, for which I have: dob 12 Jan 1789 dod Jan 1845 wife Elizabeth HESS (no other data) children: Henry, Abraham, Polly, Sarah (no other data)
I would be interested in communicating with anyone who has more information on this family and their descendants.
For other listers, I have the following questions:
(i) This a modern-day re-interment, and likely guided by some public law/agency concerned with relocating remains. Does anyone know where I could find out the full story behind this relocation - why it occurred? why Lambertville Cemetery was chosen? What statute governed the movement? (ii) Can anyone closer to ground zero identify precisely where the original site was? Was it a private cemetery? Who was the earliest owner of the property? etc. (iii) Can anyone guess who the 5 other unknown graves are?
I might also point out that, on the SOMGEN listing of the cemetery: http://www.rootsweb.com/~pasomers/cemetery/sc/lville.html the listings from FLEEGLE-LAMBERT are missing, which is why I did not previously know that GROVEs are buried here. 1042
