Additional discussion:
BIRTH: 1778 is consistent with her Newspaper death notice stating she was 68 years old. Her birth was likely on her her father's farm, stated to be one mile northeast of the present Borough of York Springs. The eastern corner of the farm, included what is now about 25% of York Springs, and straddled what became the boundary between Huntington and Latimore Townships in 1807, thought mostly in Latimore. Some suggest the house was in what became Latimore Township, but using York Springs, as it is an easy to find place on modern maps. (The place was known as Petersburg prior to 1868.)
Marriage: Suggested to be on April 25. 1800.
DEATH: Samuel and Ann Neely's farm, was 2 miles NW of York Springs, along the Carlisle Pike, in Huntington Township, though on the boundary with Latimore. The family sold this land soon after Samuel's death, in 1841. Where Ann lived after that is uncertain, but it seems likely to have been with her only child still living in the area, James Harvey Neely. James lived in a rural portion of Huntington Township in both 1840 and 1850, but within a couple pages of York Springs (Petersburg) in both years. So again, drawing a circle of about a mile from York Springs is a good approximation of where she died.
BURIAL: The location has been updated to Sunnyside Cemetery to match the "Tombstone Inscriptions Index" at the achs-pa.org website, under Research/Our Holdings. It was originally set to the the Griest Cemetery, suggested by some to be the same as the Moorehead-Robinette Burial Ground. That was based on B.F.M.
MacPherson's Gettysburg Times column, "A Bit of History About Early Settlers". But that author was inconsistent in two separate columns. The graves of two of their children are marked there. (George R. Neely and Sarah Neely). The article did state that many of the graves at Moorehead-Robinette were stated to have been moved to Sunnyside Cemetery after it was founded.
