by Kate Saint, [Josiah Seavey Saint was the son of James and Emma Saint of
Sharpsburg. Seavey was born in Sharpsburg and was involved for a time in the
contracting business, as his father had been. He then became a hardware
merchant and ran a store for 30 years. Seavey also was involved in founding the
Citizen’s Deposit and Trust Company of Sharpsburg and was elected its first
president. He was a member of the Republican party and the Methodist Episcopal

in the plot], , (contributed by Diane Nichols)
Saint, Isaac, d. 1863, Section 2, Range 3, Lot 2 owned by James G. Saint,
[Isaac Saint was born in England around the year 1796, the son of John Saint
and Ann A. Lopen. Researchers of this family state that he was born in the town
of Lopen, Somerset, England and married Sarah Giles in East Coker, Somerset in
the year 1819. He is first found in Indiana Township in the 1840 census with 7
children. At least 5 of the children were born in England and baptized in the
Independent Chapel of the town of Yeovil, Somerset between 1821 and 1829. Isaac
and Sarah lived in Indiana Township where he farmed. But by the 1860 census the
couple lived in Sharpsburg, where Isaac described himself as a gentleman. Isaac
died in Sharpsburg in 1863 and was interred in the graveyard of the Sharpsburg
Presbyterian Church. His remains were moved to Greenwood on July 3, 1884,
shortly after the plot was purchased by his son James. The tombstone is now
totally unreadable, but these fragments were visible in the early 1980s. It was
probably moved from the Sharpsburg churchyard, along with its companion stone
for wife Sarah], , (contributed by Diane Nichols)
Saint, Sarah, d. Jan ?9, 1864, Section 2, Range 3, Lot 2 owned by James G.
Saint, [Sarah Giles married Isaac Saint in East Coker, Somerset, England around
the year 1819. She was born about 1802, but the identity of her parents is
unknown. Isaac and Sarah had at least 8 known children. Five of them were
christened in the Independent Chapel of Yeovil, Somerset, England: Mary Ann in
1821, Anna Jane in 1823, James Giles in 1825, Frances Elizabeth in 1827, and
Emily in 1829. Another daughter, Matilda was also born in England before the
family immigrated in the 1830s. They appear in 1840 census in Indiana Township.
By 1860, with the children all dispersed, Sarah and Isaac moved to Sharpsburg.
Isaac died in 1863 and Sarah followed him a year later, in 1864. Both were
buried in the graveyard of the Sharpsburg Presbyterian Church, but moved to
Greenwood on July 3, 1884, along with an Orlanda Saint, whose identity is not
certain within the family. Sarah’s tombstone was probably moved from the
Sharpsburg graveyard, and is barely able to be read], , (contributed by Diane
Nichols)
Saint, Orlanda, illegible, Section 2, Range 3, Lot 2 owned by James G. Saint,
[Orlanda Saint was buried in the graveyard of the Sharpsburg Presbyterian
Church. She is part of the Isaac Saint family of Indiana Township and
Sharpsburg, but her identity within the family is not clear. Remains of Orlanda
were moved to Greenwood on July 3, 1884, along with those of Isaac and Sarah
Saint. The tombstone is not able to be read, and hasn’t for many years, but the
style and material of the stone matches those of Isaac and Sarah, dating it to
the same time period. The plot is owned by James, the son of Isaac], ,

in Sharpsburg, and married James Giles Saint, son of Isaac and Sarah Saint.
Mary and James can be found as a young couple in the 1850 census of Sharpsburg
with their first child, Charles who was only 6 months old. In 1860 they had
added 2 more children, Albert and Joseph, and James was retired as a merchant.
The couple also had George W. Saint, born in 1861, Ella, born in 1864, and

Saint, Joseph A., 1856 - 1943, Section 2, Range 3, Lot 2 owned by James G.
Saint, [Joseph Alexander Saint was probably born in Sharpsburg in March of 1856
as the son of James and Mary Saint. He spent some time in Perry, Columbiana
County, Ohio when his parents made a short surprise move there in the 1870s
when James tried to retire and “rest” as a farmer. In 1900 he had returned to
Pittsburgh, living on Larimer Avenue with wife Jennie and 3 children. He is

family plot on March 20, 1957. A 4 year old child named Lucille Saint, born in

Saint, Unidentified, Section 2, Range 3, Lot 2 owned by James G. Saint, [This
unreadable tombstone in Section 2 belongs to the saint family. During the year
1895, the family lost two very young children. The stone could belong to either
of them. With the amount of letters on the stone, it may be for both children.
Lucille Saint was 4 years of age when she died of scarlet fever. She was
interred on October 2, 1895. One month later, an unnamed 3 month old infant of
the Saint family also died of scarlet fever and was interred in the family

members buried within the plot are accounted for in the tombstones], ,

born on March 28, 1843, according to funeral home records. Thomas was preceded
by an older sister, Elizabeth, and followed by a sister, Catherine, and a
brother, Martin. In 1850 the family was living in Porter Township. No definite
census record for 1860 has been found, however, he joined Company K of the 40th
Infantry on July 26, 1861, which was recruited in Jefferson County. His name
does not appear in Bates for that unit. When soldiers started being discharged
in 1864, Thomas and others were transferred to the 190th Regiment on May 31,
1864, right after a battle at Bethesda Church the day before. They were
dispatched to Cold Harbor and then were posted on the Charles City Road before

Township. Thomas, age 57, was no longer working as a carpenter, but as a
shipping clerk. In 1910 he was at #1511 North Canal Street in Sharpsburg,

Collier, a widow with 5 children. Thomas was a watchman at a bank building at

old, living with his widowed mother and siblings. He was working as a nail
feeder at one of the local mills, as were his older brothers Fredrich and
Charles. All are listed as having been unemployed for 8 months during the
previous year. He is listed in the Pittsburgh and Allegheny Cities Directory of
1877 and 1878 as being a laborer, so his father’s early death may have required
him to quit school by the time he was 10 years old. With no other information
in the interment records, we only know that this person was first buried in the

that he joined on March 17, 1864 and was mustered out on August 24, 1865 at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The earliest census record found was the 1860 census
of Alex, age 32, and his wife, Pauline, in Valley Township, Armstrong County
with their first children, James and George, ages 5 and 2. In 1880 the family
lived in Kittanning, Armstrong County. Six children were in the family at the

was 9, William was 7 and Alice G. was only 2. Alexander was 52 years of age and
listed as a teamster. Sometime within the next 2 years, the family moved to
Sharpsburg, as Alex was listed on Main Street near 9th Street, being employed
with the police. This is according to Diffenbacher’s Directory of 1883. He is
listed in various houses in the Sharpsburg area until 1886, both as a laborer
and a teamster. Alex died in 1887, being interred in Greenwood on November 21,
1887. His was the first burial within the family plot. His widow, Pauline,
states in the 1890 Vet Schedule that he had been shot in the head, had frozen
feet, was a prisoner in Libby prison and had contracted lung trouble, all of
which contributed to his early death. Due to the closeness of the lots, and
the tendency to place tombstones imprecisely in this area, the tombstone
labeled for William Marshall (in Section 3, Range 3, Lot 9) may be on the grave
for Alexander Tarr. Without the ability to read the inscription on the stone,
it is impossible to tell which veteran the stone was originally intended. The
grave is near the Love tombstones in the section], , (contributed by Diane
