"William Ellsworth & Hannah McAninch" were featured as "Tombstone of the Month" in 2006:

"William Ellsworth McAninch was born in Beaver Township, Jefferson County, PA, on March 9,

1854 and was the son of Sylvester and Rosanna McAninch. The family moved to Knox Township

in 1861, and settled on the farm which he later owned and where he spent the rest of his life in

that occupation. In 1872, he married Hannah Elizabeth Yeomans, daughter of John S. and

Mary Ann (Steele) Yeomans. Hannah was born August 7, 1853 in Brookville, and died August

5, 1936. William died August 29, 1912, on his farm in Knox Township, Jefferson County, PA.

They had a family of eleven children, two of which died in infancy. William and Hannah are

buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, in Knoxdale, Jefferson County, PA." [Note 5]

MFN'1997ListUpdated (analysis, 2023)

The "McAninch Farm Cemetery, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania" 1997 article included a

premature and speculative list of possible graves, numbered ‘1 to 19’, based on the (CBR’1898)

(TH’1981) (HSM'1994) data, and the 15 stones reported by Blanche Blizzard (BB15'1995-97),

all mixed-up together in the same article. [MFHN’1997, Note 4]

With the subsequent realization that both ‘headstones’ and ‘footstones’ were used in the cemetery,

the (BB'10Graves) analysis above can be incorporated into an updated ‘1 to 19’ list, as follows:

(MFN'97ListUpd-1) William Crowe (CBR'1898-2of2) (Father of Jane and Polly)

(MFN'97ListUpd-2) Rachel (Thompson) Crowe (CBR'1898-1of2) (Mother of Jane and Polly)
