WE FOUND THE GRAVES! Robinson Run Ep. 8: Finding Graves

[@evanmccormick2885]

Thank you very much Brady! I love the Robinson Run series and of course all the other things you have on here. I sent you a message on Facebook regarding my families cemetery. The Hendrickson Cemetery off of Conway Wallrose Road, Beaver County, PA. Thanks for everything!

Hi Evan! You bet! Much more to come!

Always enjoy your videos. Always interesting and keep me interested in history. I hope you get to mark the graves of those 2 children.

That was an amazing video, I love the fact that you have access to the thing you called Lydar. It seems to really pinpoint these locations that you are looking for in your reserch. I love it

[@bradycrytzerofficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great research, I hope the owners of the land find out about this, they probably have no idea. What a Story!

[@bradycrytzerofficial]

I think you’re right. Let’s hope they see it!

I have to say that I really admire the reverence and honor you have in regards to all their stories. Sometimes you get blessed and they have a way of finding the right person to tell there life histories. You consider their story sacred and I have to appreciate that because not everyone does. For years I have researched and taken care of a very early black settlement in the mountains above Johnstown called Browns Farm. First settled in the 1790's. It was also an archaic native site. It's sacred to me. And the mountain has a way of letting stories find the right people. Plus the fact that I am like an honorary relative. But a few years back - some state folks got a grant and their intentions are NOT honorable. They tried to get me on board. I couldn't do it and have had words with them after public speaking events ever since. When you see groups of state folks going up with buckets and metal detectors - that was the final straw for me. They are looking for $1,200 in missing silver from 1865. It's a long story - but digging up an early mixed race settlement with over a hundred burials not counting native burials. I have been doing my best to compaign against their excusions.

Thank you for all that you do!

Brady, I have a question. If Gabriel Walker lived on Robinson Run near Nike Site Road, and Isaac Walker lived near Walker’s Mill, why would they build a spring house in this location? Wouldn’t that be really far for them to carry water to their homes?

[@bradycrytzerofficial]

@@joannbetten2884 that’s a good question. As the Walker descendants lived into the 19th century, they expanded from the creek bottom into modern Rennerdale up the hill. Gabriel and Isaac likely drank from wells of their own, but certainly knew about this spring. I think when the historian Milton called this “the Walker Spring House” he was referring to a structure built by later generations.

@@bradycrytzerofficialyes, Gabriel’s grandson, Gabriel III lived in the house along Noblestown Road across from Rennerdale Corner Store. I seem to recall an older timer than myself saying there was a spring behind that house that’s the source for the duck pond.

@ he did in fact live there! Gotta love the Old Timers! 😂
