Here I am!
As usual, Gary Chronister's "The Chronister Family" is incorrect. Most of us know what an undocumented, unproofread, poorly done book that is. Here is a very good example...
William Chronister and "his wife Rebecca" are NOT both buried at the Hampton Lutheran Lutheran Cemetery (now known as the Hamptom Union Cemetery).
First of all, William B. Chronister was a Civil War soldier who fought in Co. I of the 209th PA volunteers. He alone is buried at the Hampton Union Cemetery.
Second, William's wife was not "Rebecca", his wife was Catharine Leas, daughter of David Leas and Elizabeth Hollinger. David Leas and Elizabeth Hollinger are buried at the Lower Bermudian Cemetery, and I have a photograph of their headstone.
Catharine, wife of William B. Chronister, was born 10 Sep 1826, d. 15 Nov 1906. Catharine is not buried with William, unless the grave is unmarked. She lived to be old and died a destitute widow. She moved to Maryland to live with one of her children and I don't know where she is buried. This is documented by the pension file of William B. Chronister, where Catharine made a widow's claim. There is a note in that file in Catharine's own handwriting. I held it in my hands at the National Archives.
I don't have the names of all of their children, but I can get it for you and get back to you. I know their oldest son, David (who is buried at the Lower Bermudian Cemetery), served in the same Civil War unit as his father. Father and son served together. This is documented by the pension file of David L. Chronister, which I also held in my hands and looked at down at the National Archives. This is REAL research!
"The Chronister Family" by Gary Chronister is undocumented family stories and gossip, not worth the paper it's printed on!
I have some Millers mixed in with my people from that part of PA. I'll have to see what I can find and get back to you.

Caveat Emptor! The following information is taken directly from Gary A. Chronister's publication, "The Chronister Family," copyright 1984. I have no personal knowledge of the following information. You should confirm the data by checking the original source documents.
Susannah Chronister, b. 1812, d/o of William Chronister and wife, Rebecca. According to "The Chronister Family," William and Rebecca are buried in the Hampton Lutheran Cemetery, Hampton, PA.
William Chronister, b. 1784 - d. 1826, s/o of Heinrich Chronister and Susanna Cox (Coxen.) Both Heinrich and Susanna Chronister are buried in the Lower Bermudian Cemetery, Latimore Twp., Adams Co., PA. (This has been independently confirmed and documented.)
Louise, I suggest that you contact Peggy Reeves. She has done more research on the Heinrich Chronister line. I am from the NC line of Johann Mathias Chronister.

I am such a new researcher that I can't help you. I bet there are other experienced Chronister researchers who will read you query and respond. Hopefully, later I will have collected more information. Peggy

My maiden name is Chronister. My grandfather is Wayne L. Chronister from Carlisle PA. I don't know his parents names, but I know he has a sister named Twila. He is in his 70's. Any information would be appreciated. He doesn't talk about his family much, and my father is deceased, so I don't know very much. I would like some history to pass on to my son. Please email me at ishkbbl(a)hotmail.com.

Betty, I am a new Chronister researcher. I am researching for my two grandsons who are Chronister descendants. They are descended from Matthias Chronister and wife Elizabeth through their son James. I would love to also have the pictures and anything else Chronister researchers can send to me. I am trying to write a story on the ancestors of each of my 7 grandsons, from 3 different families. I appreciate any and all help on this project. Thanks. Peggy Carey, Dumas, Arkansas

Dear Betty,
I see you have had numerous requests to email the pictures of the Lower Bermudian Church and the homestead. Are you able to do that? I would be very interested in seeing those pictures. Is this the church in the Latimore Township, York County? My husband is descended from their daughter, Eve, who married William Washington Welch. Thank you for your time and willingness to share.
