Good Evening from Ft Worth.  My records show that a couple of my ancestors are buried in the Chatham, Tioga Co, Short Cemetery.  Their names are Jonathan Mosher born about 1781, died 1833 and his wife Basheba Fuller Mosher born 1793 died 8 Jan 1871.  Just finished checking the interments for the Short Cemetery and they are not there.  Can you help me out?  George gwmosher@nationwide.net   Thanks for any and all help
