What people say about Illyria Community Church

  • My mother Donna Lou Medberry Murphey (1930-2021), my grandparents (John Alton and Evelyn Ash Medberry and son Lyle), my great grandparents (Charles Hugh and Myrtle Ernst Medberry and their 8 children) and my great great grandparents (Marion David and Sarah Ann Kilgore Medberry and their 4 sons) attended this church since its origin and all but Mom are buried there. I am applying for DAR lineage through Sarah Ann Kilgore's grandfather Patrick Jack Kilgore. Is there any record of her death indicating her father William Kilgore and mother Sarah Jane McClelland of Mercer County Pa (where Sarah was born in 1835). Both of her parents had died (mother 1845 and father 1847) when Sarah was only 12 yo. I'm not sure what year she married Marion David Medberry, but they were in Mercer County Worth Township US Census in 1860 with 2 yo Francis Leander (Frank Medberry) and 1 month old John Kilgore Medberry. Are church records available? Even record of Charles Hugh Medberry birth and death that lists his parents will be helpful. If so, may I have a copy? Thank you for anything you can offer.
