The Pennsville Baptist (aka White) Cemetery, Bullskin Township, Fayette County, is on the hilltop, now adjacent the Baptist Church. The Pennsville Cemetery was started by John R. Rist, a Mennonite back in the 1700s. The earliest grave known is that of a Shank who was born in 1710. The stones from this cemetery are all sandstone and have not held up, so they are difficult to impossible to read today. However, someone did copy this cemetery some time ago and these are the so called partial records of the Pennsville Cemetery. The White Meeting House (ca. 1800-1853) was located on the grounds of this cemetery therefore the cemetery was known as the White Cemetery, but more recently is referred to as the Old Pennsville Cemetery or the Baptist Cemetery. The Baptist now have a church where the old meeting house once stood. East of the Baptist Cemetery, is the separate, but adjacent Independent Cemetery, which was not started until 1905. It starts at the break of the hill, running down slope.
