The cemetery is located at the intersection of York Road and Boiling Springs Road.
Adam's headstone reads:born Nov 29 AD 1751
& departed this Life the 15th of August AD 1838
Aged 86 Years 8 Months & 15 days"
Next to the headstone is a Revolutionary War marker. There are several records in the PA State Archive's Revolutionary War Military Abstract Card File with the name Adam Brandt or Adam Brand. It is unclear, at this time, which of these files is associated with this Adam Brandt. All of the Adam Brandt/Brand Abstract Card Files are labeled "Inactive Duty, Militia." It is likely that our Adam supported the war effort without engaging in active service. More research is required to determine the full extent of Adam's participation in the American Revolution.
Eve's headstone reads:
"In Memory of Eve Brandt who
was born the 14th of November 1752
& died the 10th of February 1830
Aged 77 Years 2 Months & 27 days."
The dates of birth and death on the headstones are consistent with the Brandt Bible records located at the Cumberland County Historical Society and with the Adam Brandt will on record at the Cumberland County courthouse.
