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.
Mumford Chapel Cemetery
Several Lytles of William’s line are buried in Mumford Chapel Cemetery. This cemetery is located on Route 285, about 4 miles west of Cochranton, Crawford County. According to information in a 12 April 1997 letter from Mark E. Roche, Historian of the Cochranton Heritage Society, the cemetery was established in the early 1840s by the Associate Presbyterian Church. This group disbanded in the 1860s. In 1871, the Methodist Church established a Chapel across the highway from the cemetery. “This is part of the Methodist charge which is located in Cochranton now.” Living next door to William Lytle in Fairfield Township in 1850 were an Aaron Mumford, born circa 1808; Mary Mumford, born circa 1810; Sarah Mumford, born circa 1835; Mary Mumford, born circa 1838; James Mumford, born circa 1840; Hugh Mumford, born circa 1842; Susanna Mumford, born circa 1846; and Margaret Mumford, born circa 1850 (all born in Pennsylvania).

Shreve was a son of George and Margaret (Miller) Shreve.

(tentative) Clementine4
Calvin;
died 19 July 1932. Apparently Clementine did not marry. The 1930 federal census for Meadville, Pennsylvania, reports a John M. Calvin, widower, born 1853 in Pennsylvania and his daughter Clementine Lytle, born circa 1862 in Pennsylvania. I can not resolve this discrepancy and the fact that John Calvin was reported dying in 1909. The 1910 and 1920 federal censuses for Meadville, Pennsylvania, also report Clementine, single, born circa 1861 or 1862.198 In 1920, Clementine was listed as a college teacher. Was she a teacher at Allegheny College in Meadville?
There was a John Calvin, born circa 1867, Pennsylvania, a printer, enumerated in Meadville in the 1900 soundex. His wife was Addie [—?—], born circa 1866 in Pennsylvania, and their children (all born in Pennsylvania) were Florence Calvin, born circa 1894; Katie Calvin, born circa 1896; and Louisa Calvin, born circa 1899.

The Concord Cemetery and Church
Several 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 McCaslin (#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):
CONCORD CEMETERY. This cemetery is actually in Venango Co., [Allegheny Township] PA., about one mile west of the Forest Co., PA line. It is along the main road between Pleasantville and Tionesta and behind an old sawmill (look for sawdust pile). The cemetery is on a knoll, with a fence partially around it but abandoned and neglected. The cemetery was originally a graveyard for a local Presbyterian Church (long since gone). The present Presbyterian Church at Neilltown is an off–shoot of this original congregation. The cemetery was indexed first by the Warren County Historical Society and then by Clair Norr and myself (Eugene Throop) in May 1973. We found sixty–six marked burials from 1823 to 1917 including a sandstone monument upon which the name is worn off and all that remains is “died 11 March 1835, aged 6m.
Pertaining to the Concord Churches, this from
Sesquicentennial, Pleasantville, Venango County, Pennsylvania, 1821– 1971. Compiled 1971, Helen Waddell, chairperson, p 26–27:
The old Concord Church was organized in 1822. This was several years after early settlers built a log school house southeast of Pleasantville, which became the site of the old Concord Church. Mr. H. I. Huidekoper, an agent for the Holland Land Co. deeded two acres of land near the log school house, to be used for church and burying ground purposes. One Sunday, several years later [I do not have the date], the four elders were asked to sign the Test Act, upholding the General Assembly [presumably Presbyterian?]. Two signed but two would did not. The followers of those that signed, known as the Old School branch built a church in Neilltown that was called the Concord Church of Neilltown. The New School branch (those following the elders who could not be induced to sign the Test Act) continue to worship in the old Concord Church. In 1850, services of the New School began to be held at the Conventer Church and eventually this branch became organized as the New School Presbyterian Church of Pleasantville. However before long, “the church itself died a natural death” and the property was purchased by the United Presbyterian Church Society, which was then organized in Pleasantville.
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:
By 1876, nothing remained of the building but the sills and the church which had been built years previously and in which 50 years of services were held, tumbled down and became prey to the oil men who used it for fuel or carried it off to build engine houses. The last use made of the building was to shelter a man who had smallpox. Today there is nothing left of this church property except the cemetery which is overgrown with weeds, briar and thorn bushes [and according to Mrs. Alice Morrison, a good place for rattlesnakes].
John Lytle, William Neill and James McCaslin 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 McCaslin. The last note on the Concord Congregation from the filmed records was by Victor Ducker in 1929:
Pleasantville, Pa., Aug. 23rd, 1929.
Mr. Josephus [Henry Josephus] Dunham passed away March 5th 1929 and was buried at the Neilltown Cemetery by his pastor, Victor Ducker. Mr. Dunham was the last of all the elders of ______ this church –– Pleasantville, Concord – Kerr Hill of Erie Presby –– who were in the church when I came in 1907. Mr. Dunham was an elder at Concord for 59 yrs, 2/13/1870 to 3/5/1929.
Josephus Dunham was the husband of Nancy Elizabeth McCaslin (#35), a daughter of John and Mary Rynd McCaslin. 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 McCaslin. James was a brother of the Joseph McCaslin 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 McCaslin (#9 of “McCaslins”), a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCaslin. 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 McCaslins. 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 McCaslin, a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCaslin.
7. Sarah McCrum. Sarah (McCaslin) was the wife of Robert McCrum.
8. William T. [Thomas] Neill. William was another Neill brother. He married Jane McCaslin, a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCaslin.
9. Jane Neill. Jane (McCaslin) was the wife of William Thomas Neill.
10. John McCaslin. John was a son of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCaslin.
11. Mary McCaslin. Mary Rynd McCaslin was the wife of John McCaslin.
12. James H. [Hamilton] Neill (#16 of “Neills”). James was another son of William and Jane Jordan Neill.
13. Hannah McCaslin. Hannah Neill was a sister of the above mentioned Neill brothers and wife of James McCaslin. a son of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCaslin.
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 McCaslin James was a son of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCaslin and husband of Hannah Neill, above. James was the clerk of Concord Congregation in the late 1840s. He consistently spelled the name McCaslin.
16. Mary McCaslin. She was possibly the Mary [—?—], who married Elder James McCaslin, see number 1 of this Concord section.
17. William McCaslin. He was probably William L. McCaslin, born 1819, a son of James and Mary [—?—] McCaslin.
18. Elizabeth McCaslin. Later someone had written Blauvelt above her name. I have listed her as Elizabeth McCaslin, a daughter of Joseph and Nancy Lytle McCaslin. Elizabeth McCaslin married John A. Blauvelt.
19. Joseph McCaslin. Joseph was the husband of Nancy Lytle McCaslin. In another record he is referred to as a “ruling elder.”
20. Nancy McCaslin (#2 of “Lytles”). Nancy Lytle McCaslin was the wife of Joseph.
21. Ezra Gitchel.
22. Mrs. Gitchel.
