Shaker records on Find a Grave

I've been working to make sure all of the Runyon relations who were Pleasant Hill Shakers are available and accurate on Find a Grave. While now part of Ancestry.com Find a Grave assures its members that its data will remain free and available to all.

To look up any Runyon, Badgett, Ryan, Sutton, etc. enter the last name below and click on search.

Many links to Phineas and Charity's non-Shaker descendants are starting to appear as well so that connections can easily be understood.

Remember that markers for individual Shakers were usually not placed in the graveyard (none exists for the Runyon family members) so requesting a photo will not result in a gravestone photo.

On This Date in 1817 ...


March 8, 1817, Saturday - This day was a rainy day, Today Ephraim McBride mov'd from Lebanon to the Roben Denny farm, Today Betsy Baxter departed this life. I believe with old age, she was the Mother of Patience Runyon who joined this Society in 1813, her Mother came here to stay a little while with her daughter, and being so old and feble she slipped off; she never joined this Society.
