George,

Coincidentally, I was looking at the same record this weeek at the LDS
library (LDS# 0534223). My great grand parents William and Lydia HILL
are on the same page having joined the church by experience on January
31, 1793. They were dismissed on January 29, 1795 to "the church at
Stewart's Patent".

The LDS library has two other microfilms from Springfield center: One an
index of this same record and the other a record of inscriptions in
about 17 local cememtery's (LDS # 0017964). This is all the records I
know of at this time for that area. I would be interested in any replys
you get.

Also I wonder if you or others on the list know where Stewart's Patent
is.
