Brush Creek Presbyterian Cemetery, North Huntingdon Township
aka: Leger Cemetery
aka: Brush Creek Associate Reformed Presbyterian Cemetery
aka: Bethel United Presbyterian Cemetery

     Brush Creek Presbyterian Church formed 1784. Graveyard existed before
church formation, called Hartford Cemetery or Brush Creek Cemetery. Land was patented to John Sherry in 1791, then sold to Samuel Osborn that same year. When Samuel died in 1806, the land went to his son, Archibald Osborn.
Archibald deeded the two acres of land to the church in 1830.
     Church later folded, and currently cemetery is inactive. Cemetery
grounds have cut grass, but many of the monuments are toppled and on the
ground. Along the back eastern edge of the cemetery are three piles of
tombstones debris.
