Tohickon Union Church

This church's address is Perkesie, Pennsylvania, near Quakertown, Bucks County.  It is located on Old Bethlehem Road near Lake Nockamixon, a man-made lake created during the depression, cutting off access to the church from one end of that road.

 The baptisms, catechisms, weddings and burials at Tohickon for various years are in the Pennsylvania German Society proceedings, Volume III, with an index by Elizabeth Petty Bentley and printed by the Gen. Pub. Co., Baltimore, 1983.

Burials at Tohickon Union Church for 1800: 

March 8, Henry Sylvius, Tohickon

#22 Henry.  Then in  1843 we have this one which is unexplained: 

Sept 1, Henry Sylvius's wife, 73 yrs. 

This woman was born in 1770 so not the wife of #22 Henry.  Could this be Catherine Shiver, the wife of #101 Henry?
