To clarify, conclusive evidence of the location of John Adam & Catherine (Gebhart) Lebo's graves has been elusive. However, in the interest of filling this important gap in findagrave lineage, the decision was made to identify St. John's Lutheran Cemetery as the most likely location instead of "burial location unknown" for the following reasons:
- While the Lebo Huguenot ancestors tended toward the Reformed faith, John Adam Lebo had become involved with the Lutheran church, most likely because his wife, Catherine Gebhart, was raised a devout Lutheran.
- Four of his five children were baptised in the Lutheran Church, and three of them are buried at St. John's.
- Adam Lebo's farm in present day Mifflin Township was geographically close to St. John's Lutheran, and the congregation was well established at the time of his death.
I will be happy to change the burial location if documentation proves otherwise. At the very least, we do know John Adam & Catherine were buried in northern Dauphin Co.
