23. JOHN3 LYTLE (William2, William1); born 1822; died 4 February 1886; buried in Mumford Chapel Cemetery,182 Crawford County, Pennsylvania; married NANCY MILLER, born circa 1823; died 2 July 1891; buried in Mumford Chapel Cemetery.183 Nancy was a daughter of James and Jane (McFate) Miller; therefore a first cousin marriage—see #35 of Culbertsons in the McClintock web site,” generation five, web page 6, for more details. There are 1862 quit claims in the name of John Lytle and wife Nancy to Miller Wilson,184 to George Shreve of Cherrytree Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania185 and to Robert Miller.186 These quit claims pertained to an undivided fifth part of their interest in the estate of James Miller, late of Allegheny Township. In 1850, John, Nancy and son William were living next door to John parent’s, William and Isabella Lytles, in Fairfield Township, Crawford County. John was enumerated as a laborer. Also living in the household in 1850, a Montgomery Stitt (Steel) (Steele?) (age 25), Jane Stitt (24), Robert Stitt (2) and James Stitt (under 1). Montgomery was listed as a farmer.

25. NANCY3 LYTLE (William2, William1); born circa 1825;190 married JAMES KENNEDY MUMFORD who was born circa 1820 in Pennsylvania (son of James Mumford, born 14 December 1783 in New Jersey; died 22 March 1855) and Catherine Wright Mumford (born 12 March 1783; died 29 June 1864).191 Nancy and John were the only children not enumerated with William and Isabella in the 1850 federal census for Fairfield Township, Crawford County. In 1860 and 1870, Nancy and Kennedy were living next to Nancy’s parents in Fairfield Township, Crawford County, where Kennedy was enumerated as a farmer. Kennedy’s mother, Catherine —?—], born circa 1784 in Pennsylvania, was also with the family in 1860.192
26. MARY3 LYTLE (William2, William1); born circa 1827; married THOMAS BURCHFIELD, born circa 1821 in Pennsylvania.193 According to a 29 April 1997 email from Patricia Stephens,194 Thomas Burchfield’s parents were Thomas, born 19 October 1785, and Elizabeth Greer Burchfield. Thomas (Sr.) was a son of James and Margaret (Reed) Burchfield, and his wife Elizabeth was a daughter of John and Margaret Greer. I can not make a connection between these Burchfields and the Jesse Burchfield of the McCaslands.

By 1900, William had died, and Lucinda and family were living in Sandy Lake Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. In 1910, Lucinda was a servant in a private home and her daughter Florence, single, was a retail merchant, groceries.200

The Concord Cemetery and ChurchSeveral ancestors are buried in an old abandoned cemetery, the Concord Presbyterian Cemetery. This cemetery is located in Allegheny Township, Venango County, two miles southeast of Pleasantville, Pennsylvania, on Route 36 near Tyrell Corners. Mrs. Alice Morrison, professional genealogist of Venango County, recorded the cemetery’s headstone inscriptions in 1958. Inscriptions were also compiled in 1978 by Eugene Throop. Margaret Henderson Watson (#5 of “Hendersons”) is buried in the Concord Cemetery and probably her husband, Robert Watson (#1 of “Watsons”), as well, although by 1958 the cemetery was in a state of disrepair and Alice Morrison could not find a headstone for Robert. Others Fleming-line ancestors buried in the Concord Cemetery include Nancy Lytle McCasland (#2 of “Lytles”) and some of her descendants. Also, Mary McFate Neill (see #7 of Neill Descendants Report, and #41 of McFate Descendants Report) the ”children of Mosley and Sarah Lytle Brown (“#17 of “Lytles”), Hugh Morrison (see #1 of Morrison Descendants Report.), and Sarah Henderson Broadfoot (#2 of Henderson Descendants Report). We would know of several others if their stones were still there. From Eugene F. Throop. 1987. Forest County, Pennsylvania Cemetery inscriptions. Heritage Books, Inc. 1540 East Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland 20716–1859, page x (with permission of Heritages Books):Pertaining to the Concord Churches, this from Sesquicentennial, Pleasantville, Venango County, Pennsylvania, 1821– 1971. Compiled 1971, Helen Waldell, chairperson, p 26–27:
What about the old Concord Church structure and burying ground where the Concord ancestors were buried? I do not know whether they were of the new or old branch, but believe most were of the Old School Branch. Continuing with the Pleasantville Sesquicentennial account:
John Lytle, William Neill and James McCasland were early trustees of the Concord Presbyterian Congregation as indicated by an 1827 deed204 from H. Huidekoper, agent, to “the Trustees of the Concord Presby Congregation, William Neill, John Lytle and James McCaslin – Trustees, for the purpose of promoting public worship [a parcel of land]. Inst. 3 October 1827, recorded ? November 1840.” Partial records of the Concord Congregation from 1843 to 1882 have been filmed and are available from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter–day Saints.205 These handwritten records are difficult to read, but show that the clerk in 1843, the first year records were available, was Robert Jordan Neill; later in the 1840s the clerk was James McCasland. The last note on the Concord Congregation from the filmed records was by Victor Ducker in 1929:
Josephus Dunham was the husband of Nancy Elizabeth McCasland (#35), a daughter of John and Mary Rynd McCasland. Both Joseph and Nancy Elizabeth became members of the Concord Congregation in 1868. Here are the members of the Concord Congregation, 13 February 1844, when records were first available, and my interpretation of their relationships to other ancestors. 1. Elder James McCasland. James was a brother of the Joseph McCasland who married Nancy Lytle.2. Elder Robert J. Neill. Robert was a son of William and Jane Jordan Neill. Robert’s first wife was Nancy McCasland (#9 of “McCaslands”), a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCasland. Robert’s second wife was Elizabeth Morrison, daughter of Hugh and Isabella Wilson Morrison. 3. Isaac Neill. This Isaac Neill was probably an uncle to the Neill brothers who intermarried with McCaslands. The “Neill Papers,” page 4, has his wife penciled in as Rebecca Davidson, see below. But one of the Neill brothers, Thomas Neill, is also listed in the “Neill Papers” as marrying a Rebecca Davidson. 4. Thomas Neill. He was probably the Thomas Neill who was a brother of Robert and Isaac. 5. Rebecca Neill. She was probably Rebecca Davidson, either the wife of Thomas, above, or Thomas’s uncle Isaac. 6. Robert McCrum. Robert married Sarah McCasland, a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCasland. 7. Sarah McCrum. Sarah (McCasland) was the wife of Robert McCrum. 8. William T. [Thomas] Neill. William was another Neill brother. He married Jane McCasland, a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCasland. 9. Jane Neill. Jane (McCasland) was the wife of William Thomas Neill. 10. John McCasland. John was a son of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCasland. 11. Mary McCasland. Mary Rynd McCasland was the wife of John McCasland. 12. James H. [Hamilton] Neill (#16 of “Neills”). James was another son of William and Jane Jordan Neill. 13. Hannah McCasland. Hannah Neill was a sister of the above mentioned Neill brothers and wife of James McCasland. a son of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCasland. 14. Elizabeth Neill. She was probably Elizabeth Morrison Neill, the second wife of Robert J. Neill and daughter of Hugh and Isabella Wilson Morrison. 15. James McCasland James was a son of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCasland and husband of Hannah Neill, above. James was the clerk of Concord Congregation in the late 1840s. He consistently spelled the name McCasland. 16. Mary McCasland. She was possibly the Mary [—?—], who married Elder James McCasland, see number 1 of this Concord section. 17. William McCasland. He was probably William L. McCasland, born 1819, a son of James and Mary [—?—] McCasland. 18. Elizabeth McCasland. Later someone had written Blauvert above her name. I have listed her as Elizabeth McCasland, a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCasland. Elizabeth McCasland married John A. Blauvelt. 19. Joseph McCasland. Joseph was the husband of Nancy Lytle McCasland. In another record he is referred to as a “ruling elder.” 20. Nancy McCasland (#2 of “Lytles”). Nancy Lytle McCasland was the wife of Joseph. 21. Ezra Gitchel. 22. Mrs. Gitchel. 23. Abram Shaw. He was possibly the husband of Sophie McCasland Shaw. 24. William T. ? Patterson. He would be the husband of Ann Neill, who was a sibling to Robert Jordan Neill and other brothers and sisters. 25. Ann Patterson. Ann Neill Patterson was the wife of William T. Patterson. 26. Jane Neill. Jane was probably the Jane Neill. a sibling of Robert Jordan Neill, Ann Neill Patterson and the other Neills mentioned above. But she could be Jane Neill, born 8 Oct. 1821, daughter of John and Mary McFate Neill. 27. Sophie L. Shaw. Sophie McCasland Shaw was a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCasland. Her husband was possibly Abram Shaw, see number 23 of this Concord section. 28. Jonathan Sheldon. Jonathan was the husband of Ann Lytle Sheldon (#19 of “Lytles”), Ann being a daughter of John and Sarah Morrison Lytle. 29. Benjamin McGee. 30. Margaret (or Mary) Coulter. 31. William Haworth. There was a William John Haworth, husband of Jane Lytle (#16 of “Lytles”), a daughter of John and Sarah Morrison Lytle. Jane Lytle Haworth’s husband (William Haworth) is buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Berthoud, Colorado,206 but the family did not move out of Venango County until the 1850s. 32. Sarah Little (#2 of “Morrisons, and #3 of “Lytles”). Sarah Morrison Lytle was the wife of John Lytle and the daughter of Hugh and Isabella Wilson Morrison. 33. Caroline Lauders. 34. Charles Harrison. 35. Catherine Harrison. New members added after 1843 were also listed through 1865, with the years 1854–1862 missing.
